Why we recommend this

A constant f/2.8 across 24-70mm and VC stabilization deliver sharp handheld images, while eBAND and fluorine coatings reduce flare and moisture. Moisture-resistant construction and fast USD autofocus come at a cost below first-party rivals. Best suited for budget-minded Nikon F shooters focused on portraiture or video where stabilization and constant aperture are critical.
