Versatile zoom for FX and DX sensors
The Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED covers a wide-angle to medium-telephoto range with a constant f/2.8 aperture. It is designed for Nikon DSLR bodies such as the D40, D60, D80, D90 and D300. On DX-format cameras the effective focal length reaches 36-105mm for extended reach.
Silent Wave Motor and internal focus
Nikon's Silent Wave Motor delivers fast, accurate autofocus with near-silent operation. Internal focusing keeps the lens barrel at a fixed length, preserving the working distance to the subject. The M/A focus mode switch allows instant switching between autofocus and manual override.
Edge-to-edge sharpness at wide aperture
Three ED glass elements and a PGM aspherical lens control chromatic aberration while maintaining high contrast across the frame, even at f/2.8. Nano Crystal Coat reduces ghosting and flare for improved clarity. Rugged construction adds dust and moisture resistance for reliable field use. Minimum focus distance is 14.9 inches.

Questions about this item
How do I mount the lens and what focus-mode step do people forget?
Align the white dot on the lens barrel with the white dot on the camera mount, twist until it clicks, then slide the M/A switch to the desired mode; users often leave it on M and wonder why autofocus does not engage.
Which parts will need service or replacement after extended use?
The Silent Wave Motor and internal focus helicoid are the main wear items; front and rear elements may eventually need recoating if the Nano Crystal Coat is damaged, and the rubber zoom and focus rings can be replaced if they loosen.
What optical limit appears first when shooting wide-open at 24mm for long sessions?
Corner vignetting and lateral chromatic aberration become visible before centre sharpness drops, even with the three ED elements and PGM aspherical lens correcting most colour fringing.
