Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8G ED AF-S
The 24-70mm f/2.8G ED AF-S is Nikon’s standard-range zoom. It’s optimized for edge-to-edge sharpness on full-frame cameras and is the predecessor to the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8E ED AF-S VR. Key features include:
Edge-to-edge sharpness
Fast, nearly silent autofocus and full-time manual focus
15-inch minimum focusing distance
DX and FX compatible
Roger's Take
Founder & CEO
I considered this one great when it was released, but others have narrowed the gap quite a bit since then. It is sharp, the autofocus is quick, and flare control and chromatic aberration are well ...
Q & A
“G” is a reference to a G-Type lens and is distinguishable from a standard D-Type lens by its lack of an aperture control ring. G-Type lenses relay distance information to compatible DSLRs like a D-Type lens but rely wholly on electronic aperture control through a camera body.
“ED” stands for “Extra-Low Dispersion” Glass and is a reference to specialized glass used for the correction of chromatic aberrations.
“AF-S” refers to Auto Focus that features Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor or “SWM.”
