Full Frame Nikon Bodies And The Nikon 24-70mm - A Perfect Match

The Nikon 24-70mm is a professional zoom lens of the highest quality and has everything that an exceptional DSLR lens should.

Its all metal structure and pleasurable damping of the zoom ring make it a joy to use for photographers who appreciate the finer aspects of a well made lens.

This lens is best suited to full frame Nikon FX bodies just like the D3, however those photographers making use of DX bodies will also be able to use this lens. Certainly, DX body users will see the focal length increase by 60% which has both good and bad points.

I say bad as the wide end of the lens becomes 36mm as opposed to 24mm which is not actually that wide when you think about it. Then again, the 70mm end becomes 105mm which is a useful, if not telephoto, focal length.

Perhaps the best things about the Nikon 24 70 lens are the superb image sharpness through the range and broad open aperture. Be cautioned however - you'll pay for this excellent optical performance.

A few Nikon enthusiasts have complained that the 24-70mm does not have a vibration reduction (VR) element, however it should be said that vibration reduction is less significant in a 24-70mm lens and the highest aperture of f/2.8 makes it easy to hand hold most of the time.

Another factor I have to point out in this Nikon 24 70mm lens review is that the positions of the zoom ring and the manual focus ring. The manual focus ring has been positioned in a rather strange position - perhaps because Nikon expects that the majority of photographers would use the lightning quick auto focus system and not really bother with the manual function.

As a result and when you enjoy using manual focus, you may find that the placement of the manual focus ring needs some getting used to.
