Be at the helm of your photographic journey with Nikon's superior 24-70mm f/2.8E ED AF-S NIKKOR VR Lens, the ultimate tool for professionals seeking to capture every detail of every moment. This lens is a refined version of its iconic predecessor, boasting state-of-the-art Vibration Reduction (VR) technology. With an impressive four stops of image stabilization, this lens enables photographers to seize crystal-clear shots even in challenging light conditions, from dimly lit wedding venues to unpredictable outdoor events. For landscape enthusiasts, the Tripod Mode ensures maximum clarity, while filmmakers will appreciate the depth-of-field control paired with this stabilization. The lens also features an Electromagnetic Aperture control, ensuring consistent exposures during high-speed shooting sequences. This means every frame is precisely captured, no matter how fast the action unfolds.The 24-70mm f/2.8E ED AF-S NIKKOR VR Lens is not just about technical advancements; it's about delivering unparalleled optical excellence. The introduction of the Aspherical Extra-Low Dispersion (ASP/ED) element, combined with traditional aspherical, ED, and High-Refractive Index (HRI) elements, signifies a significant shift in optical precision. Expect photographs and videos characterized by a harmonious blend of sharpness, subtle blur effects, and minimal aberrations. The Nano Crystal Coat further reduces ghosting and flare instances.Built for resilience and precision, this lens is meticulously sealed against harsh elements, and the fluorine coating on its front and rear elements repels dirt, moisture, and smudges. With 20 elements in 16 groups, the lens's optical design is formidable. Its 9-blade diaphragm crafts naturally blurred backgrounds that aesthetically complement the subject.The 24-70mm focal length is ideal for a range of scenarios, from serene landscapes to bustling press events. With a constant f/2.8 aperture, this lens excels in low-light, capturing fast-moving subjects with a beautiful bokeh blur. The lens employs a non-spherical surface to counter aberrations, ensuring compactness without compromising on clarity. Nikon's ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) Glass and HRI (High Refractive Index Lens) work together to rectify chromatic aberrations, delivering stellar optical performance in a sleek body.The lens also features an innovative focusing system with an IF lens, allowing for closer focusing distances. The M/A Focusing Mode allows for a near-instantaneous switch between automatic and manual focusing just by turning the focusing ring. Nikon's Nano Crystal Coat virtually eradicates internal lens reflections across numerous wavelengths, drastically reducing ghost and flare caused by oblique light. The Silent Wave Motor (SWM) employs ultrasonic vibrations to focus the lens, resulting in a smooth, silent, and precise autofocus. Every optical element in this NIKKOR lens receives a multilayer coating, ensuring optimal light transmission and minimal reflections.For professionals seeking top-tier performance and undeniable quality, the AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR is more than a lens - it's a commitment to photographic excellence.

Super sharp lens, exceeded my expectations. Service through Adormama was swift and professional.

Great Glass!

This lens provides great results when photographing landscapes and close-up objects.  The color reproduction is fabulous, providing a true representation of what is being photographed.  I photograph desert scenes and wild horses with this lens  and achieve great shots.

Top of the Line Nikon Lens

The Nikon 28-70 VR II lens is an excellent choice for portrait photography. The zoom range is perfect for capturing headshots and full-body shots, and the VR (Vibration Reduction) technology allows for sharp images even when shooting at lower shutter speeds. The bokeh produced by this lens is beautiful and creamy, making it easy to isolate the subject and create a pleasing background blur. The build quality is also top-notch, with a sturdy and durable construction that feels great in the hand. Overall, I highly recommend this lens for any portrait photographer looking for a versatile and high-quality option.

The best portrait lens

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8E VR Lens - I was very happy with the original version of this lens and then, I purchased this version and it did not change the game, it shifted the paradigm. Is it the Nano Crystal Technology? Is it the bigger front element? Is it the Vibration Reduction (VR)? I don't know at this point but I can tell you that the images are sharper, crisp, great color saturation and overall better than ever before. I love the lens and it is a fixture in my bag. It do not matter if it is on the D700s or the D800s it just plan makes me happy as I am working post production. I am an old school photographer that still holds on to my Hasselblads, F3, F100, F5 and F4 so I do most of the work inside the camera. If you can afford to, get yourself one and re-discover your passion for photography. Yes, I recommend it and once you start shooting with it, so will you.

Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8E VR - Incredible!!!!

As always, Nikon hit it out of the part with this one. I really love working with this lens.

I love this lens

The best

I purchased this to replace my broken Tamron first gen 24-70 f/2.8. I was very happy with that lens before it broke, but when I saw the difference in the image quality and sharpness in the corners, and overall increased resolution, I was blown away. The Tammy was a good lens for the time, and for my budget then, but now I have this, and will very much need and use the weather sealing as well, as the lack of this is what undid the Tamron. I shoot often in rain or at the ocean, two things I love, but most camera gear does not! This finally will allow me to get the  full potential out of my well loved Nikon D810

Absolutely Superb

Fresh out of the box and the differences are very noticeable. I purchased this one to replace the one that I bought 7 years ago and has been my workhorse for the entire period. First, the 82mm front element tells me that this is going to be different. I attached my mandatory UV filter and then the D800 body and the MarkII R2 trigger to the hot shoe and we were off. The focusing is extremely fast and quiet. Took a couple of shots of one of my orchids that I usually use as test subjects and the difference was apparent. This was a good move. Fast, crisp, quiet and sharp. No regrets on the purchase at thos point. The older model will be sent in for cleaning and go into the bag as a backup. I do tons of events and I am sure that I will be updating this review. If you can scratch together the bucks, it is worth every penny. Buy it now, don't wait!

The original was excellent but the VR version has stolen it original's lunch!

I would highly recommend this lense, It is great a great range to have in your bag

Top Notch

It?s a great lens for real, I have this lens with D780 : build quality, image sharpness quality and fast f2.8 aperture.

It?s a great lens for real.

Love it

I had been wanting this lens after purchasing the D-750 in 2014; however, the original high cost did not allow. With the recent $500 discount, I decided to purchase the lens from Adorama. The lens is fantastic, with lightning fast focus and beautiful colors. It is definitely the best lens in my collection. I must admit that it is relatively heavy, but I hope to match it with a D-850 with a grip in the future.

Outstanding Nikon lens!

Bundle.  Review of lens posted with the Lens.  Nice Carbon Fiber Tripod.  Like reverse folding up into short section with Ball Head between legs.  Comes with case.

Nice Carbon Tripod in bundle.

A Great Lens.  Completes my Holy 2.8 Trinity.  Somewhat heavy, but that's part of the cost of good glass.

Middle of the Nikon 2.8 Holy Trinity

Very happy. In stock, fast shipping. 
Sharp as a tack.

Great lens!

Great lens. Heavier than my mid-zoom Sigma, but so much sharper. 
Ordered as package with carbon fiber tripod. Sweet deal, fast shipping. Happy with my purchase.

Nikon 24-70 VR plus Tripod

This replaced an old 24-85 mm, very sharp, great lens.

Great Lens

Oh my?. This 24-70mm is ?The Cats Meow?..!  On my D7200, I?ve gotten so many compliments, on how crisp and clean my photos are.  I?ve been told that I was the only one that made someone actually feel good about themself, because she was so happy how her photos looked!  Not only is this an Investment, it?s Magic..  Semper Fi

The Magic Lens

This lens produces spectacular results for my outdoor action photos. Its my go to lens.

Its my Go To Lens

Overall excellent lens with added VR technology. However the lens is weather seal but not air tight seal, so moisture can slip into the lens, and if the humidity level is high, its possible to see the lens become foggy! I therefore recommend to keep the hood on to avoid moisture penetration through the zoom elements.

Not only a wedding photography lens!

Lens takes good pics but-I bought it to take portraits of people and dogs. My dogs are terrified of it!  It must make a high frequency sound; because even if they?re asleep they wake ups bd bolt from the room when I press the shutter halfway. They?ve never reacted like this to any other lens. Nikon was less than helpful. I should have returned it.  I?ve spoken with others who use the lens with animals-and don?t have this response. I suspect it?s this particular lens I?m really sorry I spent so much  (this was Nikon refurbished lens)

Dogs are terrified ? High frequency sound?

Great for senior photo shoots! I love the outdoors and snapping both stills and action shots. This lens does it all.

All around great lens!

Nice improvement form the non VR version. Still my favorite and most used lens.

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR Lens

Long waited for Lens to provide all around versatility. The wait was worth the he time.

Excellent lens. It's a little heavy, but I'll take it anywhere. I love the VR features. Definitely my go-to lens.

Best all around lens.

Beautiful lense and the quality is unsurpassed.

Nikon 24-70 F/2.8E ED VR

Great lens that I have been wanting for a long time. Glad the price included all the accessories.

Great lens

Love this glass, I had the other two from the trio and this filled in my gap.  Great sharpness and perfect focal range for most of my shooting.

Got on sale and well worth the price

This is a great product. It really brings up the camera potential. The pictures are simply amazing.
