Digital camera reviews of Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Nikkor Wide Angle Zoom Lens

Digital camera Review: Wow this lens is a treat to use!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Well, after owning this lens for two weeks the $1600 question is : Is it worth it?

The answer is 100% YES!!

This lens is sharp at all f-stops and has fantastic contrast and color characteristics.
My nikon 35-70 f2.8, that I use for portraits, is not even in the same class. I find skin tones are more natural and colors more vivid with this lens. I have found my new walk around lens.

It's expensive but well worth it.
