Hello, other than 4mm in the zoom and the nano coating on the 24-70, nothing. If u wanna get technical they are completely different parts internally but they perform almost identically. I am very familiar with both lenses and they both have their ups and downs however I am seeing a lot of the 24-70's having soft focus issues particularly wide open. This can be repaired and we do have access to fix this problem it is a hassle. The 28-70 does not have this problem. The 28-70's major flaw is the squeaky AF. But this is a easy fix. Personally I would save the money and get the 28-70.

the AF-S nikkor 35mm 1.8 is a prime (one focal length) that produces wonderful results for your DX camera. It is a must have and won't break the bank at around 200$. It's great for just about anything granted you have room to move.

Lisa - this lens has a selection switch for auto focus and it also has a selection switch for vibration control. I haven't used it for sports yet, and haven't used it for night shots either. I have used it in low light and it has performed very well. I have used it for nature, wild life and landscapes. I get clear, sharp images when using this lens. I believe the model is called AF-S DX Nikkor 55-300 f/4.5-5.6G ED VR. I would recommend this lens.

This represents approximately 1/2 stop of light. That may not sound like much but in low light it can make a difference. Also, Nikon doesn't make a 24mm 1.8. the closest is a 28mm 1.8 which is obviously a different focal length. It is a very good lens however. If you don't need the 1.4 and 28mm is an acceptable focal length then go for that as it is much cheaper.

Sorry but I don't know much about the difference in lens. I have only owned these ones. The lens are a pretty decent size. Just by looking at the picture of the GR004's it seems like these ones may just be larger.

Yes. It is an FX (full frame) lens and you can verify the lens format at http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Camera-Lenses/AF-Zoom-Nikkor-24-85mm-f%252F2.8-4D-IF.html

"prime lens" some older AF-S prime lenses do not focus on some camera bodies. Yet some on this thread state they ordered this lens and it focuses on the D3200. If so then this retailer is selling a newer model prime lens with zoom capability and Its an FX compatible lens allowing continued use once trading up to a full-frame camera. Is this indeed a prime lens that zooms in 2016?

If you have this 50mm focal length f/1.8g lens: Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G Lens with Auto Focus for Nikon DSLR Cameras then the correct filter thread is 58mm.

The Sigma 17-70 OS lens is designed to be used on DX format cameras. It will only function on FX format when that camera is in DX crop mode. As an owner of both the D7000 and D700, I can say that this lens vignettes very badly on FX. The Tokina 11-16 f2.8 lens, on the other hand, will work on the D700 at 15-16mm with little or no vignetting, and it's sharp as a tack. There are a few others that work this way - I believe the 12-24 f4 Tokina and a couple of Nikon wide angle DX lenses will also do this. Unfortunately, the Sigma 17-70 is not one that will work the way you want it to on a FX format camera. The Sigma 17-70 OS lens is designed to be used on DX format cameras.

The D7000 can auto focus both the AF-S and the older AF-D lenses. If you want to save money, get the 50 1.8 AF-D, better yet a used one to save even more money. But the 50 1.8 AF-S has better bokeh and slightly bettter image quality, so if you want the absolute best image quality, get the AF-S version. I have the AF-D and am very happy with it.

the biggest advantage is obviously the ability to go wide during weddings etc without missing shots or having to switch lenses. The 24mm is crisp throughout vs the softer edges in the older lens. I've also heard of some quality issues on the older lenses as well. The 35-70 won't auto focus with all cameras, depending on what you carry. Hope this helps.

I would get the Nikkor 24mm. This lens is reasonably sharp, but not as good as expected at the edges. There is no way to put screw on filters on this lens. It is more of a specialty lens any way because you get a fish-eye effect with a lot of distortion through all of the zoom range.

I used the 55-200mm/4-5.6 lens on my DX format D200 and thought that it was an excellent lens. There are two things that would make me prefer it to the excellent 24-85mm/3.5-5.6 in your case. First, you would probably be using the lens at longer focal lengths, in which case both lenses would be operating at f/4.5 to f/5.6, so there is no advantage to having the 24-85mm in terms of low light capability. Second, the 24-85mm is designed for the FX format, so you'd be paying for a wider field lens than you need on a DX camera. If you ever go to FX format, the 24-85mm/3.5-5.6 is a real jewel to own.

Yes, this lens is mainly for FX cameras however works great on DX cameras like the D7000 just be aware that the focal length in DX is not 200mm because of the crop factor, anyway works great almost same as the Nikon but half price

Wilmer M.You have to buy the one for the Canon....the canon lens have a different configuration than the Nikon....So you have to buy the one specific for your model of camera.I found you one on Amazon. Here is the link: Tamron Auto Focus 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di II LD Aspherical (IF) Macro Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras (Model A14E)

The lens will work with both cameras, both FX and DX, this is a Nikon enginerring thing, the DX will still crop the image, and the FX won't. So the lens will produce a bigger picture on the FX. However, I read that for many lens that have a good DX picture, when the edges are brought into the image, they are the most likey source of any problems with the image. Lens that are great accross the board, are the ones that cost the most, like the 70-200 2.8 VR2, it's a great lens accross the board, from the center (DX), all the way to edge to edge, (FX) If you have any doubt about this, don't flame me, do some home work.

I bought the 24-105 lens recently because I thought the IS would make up for my lack of a higher aperture in low-light situations. It does to an extent, but I have decided that I want the f/2.8 for other reasons. So I'm trying to sell my 24-105 so I can buy the 24-70. I do wish the 24-70 had IS, but it's really not necessary because it's just a faster lens. It really depends on your use. If you are using it for weddings, you may want to consider the 24-70 because of the faster focusing and better handling in low-light situations. If you are using it for a general walk-around lens, the 24-105 will do just fine. I love mine and I almost want to keep it and buy the 24-70, but I can't afford both right now and I need the 24-70 for my business. You can see some sample photos from the 24-105 at my website: www.sarakelley.net. Email me there if you want more input or have any questions.
