Fast-aperture zoom for FX and DX

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED is a wide-angle zoom lens with a constant f/2.8 aperture throughout its focal range. It covers 24-70mm and uses 15 elements in 11 groups, including ED glass and Nano Crystal Coat. Autofocus is driven by a Silent Wave Motor for fast, quiet operation. It mounts on Nikon F cameras and accepts 77mm filters.

Suited to event, portrait and general photography

This lens suits photographers who need a bright, versatile zoom for low-light events, weddings or environmental portraits on both FX and DX bodies. The constant f/2.8 aperture maintains exposure while zooming. Buyers who need a lighter walk-around lens or a longer telephoto reach should look at other options. Builders who require image stabilisation in the lens will not find it here.

Constant f/2.8 aperture across 24-70mm

The defining specification is the fixed f/2.8 maximum aperture at every focal length from 24mm to 70mm. This single figure determines whether the lens meets the exposure and depth-of-field needs of the shooter. Minimum focus distance is 1.2 feet and the maximum reproduction ratio is 1/3.7. The aperture stops down to f/22 with nine diaphragm blades.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the lens is focusing correctly after mounting it on my Nikon body?

Use the camera’s autofocus to lock on a subject at the minimum focus distance of 1.2 feet and verify sharpness at the maximum aperture of f/2.8 across the 24-70mm zoom range.

What accessories come with the lens and which common items must I purchase separately?

The lens includes front and rear caps; you will need to buy a 77 mm filter, a lens hood and a protective pouch separately.

Which focal-length version of this Nikkor should I choose for full-frame and APS-C Nikon cameras?

This single 24-70mm f/2.8G ED model covers FX, DX, FX in DX crop mode and 35 mm film formats, so no other focal-length version exists for those mounts.
