This has become my "Go To" lens for shooting my daughter's soccer games. It has been married to my D700 for the season, and has not disappointed. I have really enjoyed the lens, and am so glad that my wife allowed me to get one, and finally return the SIL's copy of this lens.

I do not regret in any way the purchase of this lens. I love my 10.5mm, and this lens is just as good, and just as fun to use on my D700. While I do not use it a great deal, sometimes, it is just THE lens to have with you.

This is a great camera, and a worthy offering from Nikon. The High ASA/ISO capabilities are staggeringly great. I cannot but help endorse this camera as among the best of the best. Handles flash better than my D2X.

Better balanced than the "Beast", just as sharp, seems to focus slightly faster with less hunting on my D2X.

This is a wonderful lens, albeit one that I purchased for the extra 4mm over my 28-70mm. Both, to my poor eyes, seem equally sharp, but the 24-70mm handles flare better, and seems to focus a little better, with less hunting in low light better on my D2X. I just about had second thoughts at the price though. I paid more for this lens than my 70-200mm.

If I had to do it again, I would NOT have spent the money on this lens. I am exceptionally disappointed in it, both with focus speed, and image quality. Nikon needs to drop this lens, and either come out with an AF-S version, or somehow improve this lens. I would rate it a 5 at best now.

I cannot see my other review. Big, heavy, sharp lens, but I think my 24-120mm is just about as good, with a more usable focal range for me.

I am disappointed in this lens. I had expected much, much more from it. However, my 24-120mm seems to be just as good, and more commensurate with my meager talents. Cost too much, and returns too little for the price.

A nice lens, definately gives you that "Shock and Awe" wide angle back to digital. I would have liked it to have a better range of zoom, but....

Wow! What a change from my D70 to this beast. Its heavy, and has a steep learning curve, but I am exceptionally satisfied, even though I might end up getting a divorce due to the money I spent on this camera. :D Well worth every penny I spent.

I have been really pleased with this lens, so much it is my standard "walk-about" lens. I just wish it had a 72mm or 77mm filter size. Focus is very nice, and its reasonably priced, not cheap budget glass.

I really like this lens as a complement to my 18-70mm, and it did not break my budget. Reasonablely sharp and contrasty, I have enjoyed it a lot. I just wish Nikon would standardize on a filter size.

Pros:

An excellent starter zoom for my D70. I have been exceptionally well pleased with this lens, and it is nicely sharp for my purposes. I have no regrets at all, and if on a budget (as I am) it gives you a 200mm length lens. Very light, makes a nice "walk about" lens.
|
|
Cons:
|
Filter element, I wish Nikon would standardize its element sizes. A little slow, so dim lighted shots need flash or a higher ISO.
