Since purchasing the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8G ED AF-S, I haven’t found the need to take it off my Nikon D700 with its super fast-aperture, high performance wide-angle zoom it’s a good all round lens.

I hate being constrained by equipment; owning other Nikon lenses in this range I felt they did not focus as fast or as sharp. I read almost all reviews of the lens I could find, spoke to a few photographers; no one had anything bad to say about this lens other than it was heavy piece of kit.

Indeed it’s a heavy lens, but you get used to it, the weight no longer becomes an issue once you feel the sheer joy of using this lens. It focuses fast “real fast” the photography this lens can produce is amazing. I own the Nikon 18-70 lens and this lens does not even compare to the sharpness and ease of use the 24-70mm provides.

With a price tag of £1299,00 it’s an expensive lens, but I do not regret the purchase. BUY THIS LENS. YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!!

Here is Part Two of my recent Male Fashion test; all shot with the 24-70mm f/2.8G ED AF-S. You can see for yourself how versatile this lens is, with great depth of field, focus and ultra sharpness.

Part Two of the shoot was inspired by my love of Expressionism and its Theatricality. Using heavy makeup and lighting to create harsh scenes. Let me know what you think and if you are using the Nikon 24-70mm I would love to see what your doing with it. You can also check out Part One of my Male Fashion Test Here.
