Comments about Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Nikkor Lens:

This lens works great with my D700 for low light wedding photography. The bokeh is great at 2.8 and the autofocus is fast as can be. I recommend only using this lens with a full frame camera. I occasionally put it on my D90 but the results are not the same. Overall, I am happy I got this lens.

          Comments about Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Nikkor Lens:

          I am a professional photographer, I just bought the Nikon d3s and needed a good lens for it so I got the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Nikkor Lens and love it! The only thing that isn't so great about it and its really not that big of a deal is its very heavy and at weddings the Nikon d3s is heavy enough without adding more weight!But still great performance lens~

          This is one amazing lens. The prize tag is high but I find it to be worth every penny that I have to work to own it. The focus is fast and the shots are sharp even in low light and even without the long reach I can crop without much loss.

          I waited a long time to be able to afford this lens, but it was worthed, its perhaps a bit heavy, but one you see the quality of the pics, you will be totally satisfied. You owe it to yourself to get one of these even if you have to wait for it.
          You will love it!!
