    Amazing lens
    5 Stars
    Amazing lens
    I am an amateur. I upgraded from the previous generation Nikon 24-70 2.8G ED lens. That was amazing glass. It's major downfall was the lack of Vibration Reduction. The professional reviews about this new lens with VR were mixed were mixed. Portrait photographers seemed to hate it. Others thought it was great. The lens test I read said it was slightly less crisp in the center than the previous generation, but more evenly crisp to the edges. I decided to try it with the Amazon return available.I've only shot with it three times, but it has been a combination of landscape, architecture, reflection, flowers, sunset and bright light, and two portraits on the fly. I've shot about 600 shots. This squirrel is a good example of the strengths of the lens. At 1/60 of a second @ 70 mm vibration would be a problem. This problem was magnified because I could get no closer than 10' and this is a 3/4 crop. The VR did its job. I expect to gain another 60-90 minutes of handheld of golden hour light if I shoot both sunrise and sunset. The bokeh in the background is symmetrical and of equal light across the frame.The landscape shot is handheld and sharp. The autofocus appears to work well and rapidly. I also works in what feels like slightly lower light. I am very happy with this lens.
