NEW Lens arrived today!!!!!

So after a mishap on delivery first time round, I have finally taken delivery of the 24-70mm Nikon F/2.8 AFS-ED lens.


First impressions?

Its Sharp......REALLY SHARP.

I am a total convert in the "invest in good glass" ethos, I totally see the difference.

I thought myimages were pretty sharp before but this lens blows them away.

Yep its expensive, but reassuringly so.

You pay good money for fantastic quality glass and build quality is second to none.

Weight?

Yep its a heavy bugger!! but all that great glass in this superbly engineered lens is where the money was spent, and it weighs a bit!

Its large too, but on my D200 body it feels perfectly weighted, fulcrum point is right at the mount and feels great to shoot with.

Its definately my new "Go-To lens"

Very happy with my purchase, next I want to upgrade my body to full frame (Nikon D3S perhaps) and later a 70-200mm F/2.8

Im off to play with my new toy

See ya!
