Digital camera reviews of Nikon 28-70mm f/2.8D ED-IF AF-S Zoom Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: Beautifully crafted and performs well if weight is not an issue
Summary: 5 Stars
I have own this lens now for over 4 weeks and I am amazed at the built quality if the lens. Far superior than all my other lenses that are mostly built out of plastic. Some people say that this lens is soft but in reality if you have a tuned lens with your camera the results are outstanding. I find that wide open at 2.8 and 28mm produces among the sharpest pictures I have ever taken. On a cheaper 3rd party lens I would had stopped down to f/4 to get the same results in terms of sharpness. What all this means? You get great blurred out background(bokeh) and low light shooting capabilities. Also the aperture blades are well rounded so you get those beautiful rounded circles in the bokeh and not the octogons found in cheaper lenses. On the sour note, this lens has been nicknamed the beast for a reason and that is the size and weight of the lens. Not to mention that when you add the hood then heads start turning. Thats one reason I bought a rubber hood for the lens. At least it kind of blends in with the lens so not that many stairs come my way. If you can find one in great condition, get it! It works for DX and FX bodies(unlike the nikon 17-55mm 2.8)and you will also be future proof. I have worked in this 28-70mm range for awhile and I like the range even on a DX. I used own the tamron 28-75mm2.8 which is not as sharp. Great for portraits!
