Hi,
Just wanted to tell you lot I can't wait going to pick it up within the hour :) can't wait :thumbs:
 
Is not having VR a set back?
 
Brendan,

Where did you buy it, and what did you pay? I'm currently considering one, and wonder if there are decent deals to be had.

Cheers, Mark

Where I work I get alot of discounts on loads of different retailers, the first mon-fri of every month they do double discounts so I got 15% off at jessops. I know they did have another 5% off but not on camera bits. My company track it online and I have to wait 1 month to get the cash back but I just paid £1010 for the nikon 24-70 :D happy days.

Nice :thumbs:
 
You will love the 24-70, it's prolly the best zoom lens Nikon make.
 
WOW, I love it already, I have missed a zoom and even at ISO 1600 its still really good very happy can't wait to use it more :)
 
Got one last week. Yet to use it in full anger but a few test shots look promising.

i think I might do some side by side comparisons with the tamron 17-50 soon (still using a dx body at the moment).
 
Just out of interest did anyone upgrade from a Nikon 28-70 'the Beast' which I find stunning on FX and cannot see how anything could better it. Focal length aside, has anyone any experience of upgrading? Maybe wrongly I feel it would be marginal. On the other hand I upgraded to the Nikon 28-70 from a Sigma 24-70 f2.8. The Sigma was very good, excellent at times, but not wide open or until 1.5 stops down and never quite gets to the IQ of the Nikon (on FX) so i could see a Nikon 24-70 would seem quite a leap if you have a Sigma or maybe a Tamron 28-75?
