The Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8G ED AF-S NIKKOR is a new standard zoom lens that should replace its 28-70 f/2.8 sibling, similar to Canon’s 24-70 L. Compact construction reminds us of the Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 and the Tamron 17-50 f2/.8.
- 24-70mm zoom range (DX equivalent: 36-105mm).
- Nano Crystal coat reduces ghost and flare.
- Slim, durable and lightweight barrel.
- SWM (Silent Wave Motor) for whisper quiet and fast autofocus.
- ED glass to minimize chromatic aberration.
- Closest focusing distance: 0.38 m (at 50 mm).
- Rubber mount seal.
- Instant manual focus override (M/A).
- Detachable hood and soft pouch CL-M3 included.
With this new Nikkor offering, Nikon shooters now have a 24-70 standard zoom, an advantage that only Canon used to have.
