Q: Hi, I just purchased this lens online today through best buy site, how can I make sure that the Nikon 24-70 mm I will receive is Japan made? I have purchased four other lenses and all are made in Thailand, where are the Japan made lenses distributed???

A: Nikon operates factories all over the globe and each operates to the same high standard. However, the AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED Standard Zoom Lens is only made in Japan. Therefore, the AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED Standard Zoom Lens that you purchased today will be Japan made.

Q: is this lens compatible with d5300?

A: Yes all Nikon dslr's use the f mount. Since the 5300 is a crop sensor your focal length will be ~38-112mm

Q: Looking for a lens that will take great basketball action shots indoor with gymnasium (which is ever changing) lighting. Will this one do that?

A: I don't know for sure but I think I would use it myself. It is Fast, sharp and has a good reach

Q: does it has VR (vibration reduction)?

A: No it doesn't, but you don't need it. It's not worth the extra money. It's an amazing lens!

Q: Will this work on a Nikon D810 camera?

A: The lens will work with any Nikon DX or FX-format DSLR camera with an F-bayonet mount.

Q: Do you have any idea when this lens might be available again online?

A: It's never a set rule, but my experience in the past has been this: If it's listed as "sold out online", it's rather temporary - maybe 1-2 weeks. However, if it gets the the point of "backordered", it could be 3-5 weeks. I have noticed a lot of great lenses will disappear entirely from the site too - sometimes they come back in a few months, or sometimes they never come back. I would guess in this case you have 1-2 weeks. You can go in store and see if someone can check their ability to order the lens in store too. In rare cases, I have been able to order a lens in store that was listed as sold out online.

Q: Does it work fine with D7000?

A: yes, it will work well. It will give you beautiful results, but keep in mind this is an FX lens, meaning it's built for full-frame. You can get the Nikon 17-55 f2.8 for significantly cheaper and it will give you similar results on your D7000. I would not pay extra for the 24-70 f2.8 unless you planned on upgrading to full-frame in the future (D700 or the new D800 for example)
