Excellent lens when paired with my D850. I've been able to take extraordinary pictures in low light settings with the combination. If you are willing to spend the money on this lens it is well worth it. Together they are a bit heavy but I do recommend a better camera strap for ease of use and comfort. I do have the Nikon Nikkor AF-S 28-300 mm f/3.5-5.6G VR, which is a good walkabout lens, but the sharpness and low light capability are far better with this lens.

Tack sharp straight from the box. I used to rent a 24-70 mm from Borrowlenses.com when I needed to use one, but I could not pass up the sale on this phenomenal lens. The addition of vibration reduction to the previous model elevates this lens to another level. Cannot wait to get outside and shoot g with it!

Amazing lens. Should have gotten this before the 70-200 f/2.8E. This is now my go to lens as it is fast, sharp, and perfect for low light. Cannot recommend this enough.

Great lens, works perfectly well on full frame and crop sensor cameras. Incredibly well built. You can feel the metal When you hold it. Personally it was a bit too heavy for me to handle. Weight balance was a bit off as this lens weighed twice the weight of ny camera body.

This was an upgrade to my F-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED Lens and perhaps this one is sharper for a ver unnoticeable difference the E ED VR is Just Amazing to shoot hand held and low light performance is just unbeatable... Im glad I did Got this new version and even more with US$ 500.00 off from the regular price.

I have been wanting to buy this lens and finally decided. I don’t regret it!
Great focus, fast, strong build. A little heavy, but with the wide option at 24mm and the ability to zoom at 70mm, you won’t need to bring 3 prime lenses.

Fantastic lens for everyday use. Exceptional build quality, crystal clear optics, and the perfect zoom range for day to day use. While on the heavier side, the optics and build quality are worth it, especially when you can snag it on sale.

Took this lens on a trip to Dollywood yesterday. This is by far the best everyday lens I have have ever owned. Pictures were crystal clear and razor sharp. With the f/2.8 aperture there is enough light and depth of field for stunning portraits. Not inexpensive but highly recommended.

Nice upgrade for me to cover the range below 70mm that I am short on given the update to a new camera body. I've only taken a few photos with it so far but it seems to be very good for the range it covers

I bought this lens to use on my Nikon D850 DSLR. I was hesitant because a few reviews said it wasn't pin sharp in the middle of the picture. I have spent 2 months testing this lens in every way I can think of and IT IS pin sharp not only in the middle but to the edges, which I understand the lens it replaces was sharp in the middle but lost some toward edges. Congrats to Nikon for designing as they did. Quality build and smooth to use. It is a little heavy but I love the weight for stability when hand holding shots. Glass is heavy, it comes with the territory on a quality lens, IMO! It is a large lens and I love it. Delighted I bought it!

You can’t beat Best Buy, especially if you purchase the warranty membership. I received this lens quickly. You can’t find a better lens than this. You can never ever go wrong with Nikon Nikkor lenses.
