Versatile zoom for full-frame DSLRs

The Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR covers a wide-angle to short telephoto range with a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture. It suits photographers working from studio sessions to field assignments who need one lens for stills and HD video. The electromagnetic diaphragm provides consistent exposure control during high-speed shooting. Built-in Vibration Reduction delivers up to four stops of stabilization for handheld use.

F-mount limits and minimum focus

The lens uses a Nikon F-mount with a built-in CPU, so it works only with compatible DSLR bodies. Minimum focus distance varies by focal length: 0.38 m at 35–50 mm and 0.41 m at 24, 28 and 70 mm. There is no tripod collar included, and the fixed 88.0 mm diameter may not fit all filter systems. The 154.5 mm length extends during zoom operation.

Constant f/2.8 aperture decides fit

The single specification that determines whether this is the right part is the constant f/2.8 maximum aperture across the entire 24–70 mm range. If you need a faster aperture or a longer telephoto reach, this lens will not meet that requirement. The optical design includes an aspherical extra-low dispersion element for edge-to-edge sharpness on high-resolution sensors.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR over other focal-length kits for full-frame event work?

The constant f/2.8 aperture and 4-stop Vibration Reduction let you hold faster shutter speeds indoors, while the 24-70mm range covers wide group shots at 24mm and tight portraits at 70mm without swapping lenses.

How does the f/2.8 constant aperture perform when I zoom from 24mm to 70mm on a high-resolution DSLR?

Exposure stays fixed at f/2.8 throughout the zoom, and the electromagnetic diaphragm keeps depth of field consistent, so you can track a subject from 1.2 ft at 35-50mm to 1.3 ft at 24, 28 or 70mm without changing settings.

What does the F-mount Type E interface mean for aperture control and camera compatibility?

The built-in CPU and electromagnetic aperture let the camera drive the diaphragm electronically, enabling precise exposure in live view and video on compatible Nikon DSLRs while retaining mechanical F-mount attachment.
