Why we recommend this

The f/1.4 aperture combined with Nano Crystal Coating and ED glass delivers exceptional low-light performance and sharpness with controlled flares. Its durable weather-sealed build and 12-blade diaphragm produce a painterly look with expressive bokeh and subtle highlight blooms. This lens is best for portrait and video shooters using Nikon F-mount DSLRs who need a wide-angle prime with organic rendering and shallow depth of field.

Why we recommend this

The constant f/2.8 aperture and internal zoom mechanism, a first for its class, maintain the lens's center of gravity for stable gimbal use while its Nano Crystal Coat and ED elements suppress flare and ghosting. Its optical formula delivers sharpness and pleasing bokeh in a weather-sealed, 900g body that is smaller and lighter than typical 24-70mm f/2.8 lenses. This lens is best for landscape photographers and video shooters who need a durable, stabilized workhorse zoom with silent, fast autofocus.
