Versatile FX/DX Zoom for Professionals

This Nikon AF-S zoom covers a 24-70mm focal range with a constant f/2.8 aperture, making it suitable for event, portrait and landscape work on both full-frame and APS-C DSLR bodies. The Silent Wave Motor delivers fast, quiet autofocus while an M/A switch allows instant manual override. Its magnesium alloy barrel includes weather sealing for demanding shooting conditions.

Optical Performance and Close Focus

Three ED glass elements and a PGM aspherical lens control chromatic aberration and maintain edge-to-edge sharpness at the widest aperture. Nano Crystal Coat reduces ghosting and flare in backlit scenes. Internal focusing keeps the lens length constant and the minimum focus distance is 14.9 inches, providing useful close-up capability throughout the zoom range.

Upgrade from Variable Aperture Zooms

Photographers moving from slower kit zooms gain a constant f/2.8 aperture for consistent exposure and shallow depth of field across the entire range. The build quality and optical corrections suit daily professional use where variable-aperture lenses struggle in low light. It does not serve shooters who need wider than 24mm, longer than 70mm, or a lighter walk-around prime.

Questions about this item

Will the 24-70mm f/2.8G cover the 23.9 x 36mm FX sensor on my older Nikon DSLR and still work in DX crop mode?

Yes, the lens is optimised for both FX and DX format image sensors, providing full-frame coverage on the 23.9 x 36mm sensor and a 1.5× crop field of view on DX bodies.

How can I verify the Silent Wave Motor and internal focus are operating correctly after mounting the lens?

Engage autofocus and listen for near-silent, rapid focusing; the barrel should not extend or rotate while focusing, and the focus distance scale will show a minimum of 14.9 inches.
