The Nikon AF Zoom Nikkor 35-70mm f/2.8D lens is quite simply one of the enduring titans of modern professional-grade digital photography. It is arguably one of the best lenses available, and at a jaw-dropping accessible price point. This exquisite machine features glass and craftsmanship of a quality that virtually no optics of any era can match. This 35-70mm is well-known for producing incredibly sharp images to exacting specifications, with no softening at the corners, even when wide open. This means your landscape photographs will look great. At the same time, it can close-focus down to two feet, and then much closer in macro mode, with no reduction in sharpness. Bees and flowers pop. Compared with contemporaries costing much more, this Nikon f/2.8 lens has almost no distortion through the entire zoom range even in macro mode. Stop the aperture all the way down to f/22 and there is no distortion or darkening of corners. This versatility is why it is the perfect go-to lens for travel. The autofocus is fast enough for great sports shots, and the manual focus is smooth and easy to adjust. It’s not an understatement to say that almost all professional photographers have this prized possession in their toolkit, and it is often the default on their camera. This Nikon f/2.8 lens is compact and durable, made of metal and professional glass. It has a satisfying heft in the hands but is small and light enough to work great for long days of focus in the field. It features an HB-1 plastic bayonet hood. This 35-70mm is an enduring workhorse, a true modern classic whose 70mm provides just the magnification needed. Nikkor was an optics company first, and it pushed the design envelope for half a century before introducing Nikon to the world. They have always been obsessed with the craftsmanship and science of optics, and for this reason, they’ve produced “instruments of light” which are unparalleled in imaging. Unmodified Nikkor lenses have fittingly been taken by NASA to the International Space Station many times — a great reflection of the durability and quality which is built into these products. This rich history eventually led the engineers to produce a zoom lens that offers excellence in range, durability, sharpness, and speed. It is supremely adaptable to portraits, travel and action shots, sweeping panoramas, and intimate close-ups. Image quality is consistent in a huge variety of environments. This Nikon zoom lens comes with a front cap, a rear cap, and a handy Tiffen 62mm SKY 1-A filter (a great accessory which enables you to take great outdoor photos in varied conditions). This Nikon lens is completely compatible with every camera in the following Nikon lines: Df, D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D810, D800, D800E, D750, D700, D610, D600, D500, D300s, D300, D200, D7200, D7100, D7000, D90, D80, D70s, D50, and D100. It is also compatible with some other cameras. The Nikon AF Zoom Nikkor 35-70mm f/2.8D is an essential and versatile tool in your quiver of zoom lenses, and in all likelihood will become your favorite lens and produce your favorite photo. Sharp
