Strength:

Extrem perfect built
Fast and quiet
Ideal range for 80% pics
more ore less no distorsion
Sharp
Less failoff than expected

Weakness:

Price

This is a great lens. It has for it's numbers of glasses less failoff, an excellent distorsion in comparison to the Sigma and is extremly fast. Don't mind about the size, with the F5 or F100+grip it is well balanced and feels like a tank. The sharpness at 2.8 i expected to be better but don't await miracles. The price is high but compare with C*** or M*** it is fair

Customer Service

Strength:

The lens is extremely clear and fast. The internal motor for focusing works fast and accurate.

Weakness:

Not a problem but an observation. When one steps up to the Nikon ED class of lenses, one must be prepared to carry a lens that is both larger and heavier.

The Nikon ED lenses in general and this 28-70 Nikon ED Zoom in specifics opens up the user to a whole new level of quality in their output.

Customer Service

Nikon offers a free extended warranty by simply returning the registration card within 10 days of purchase. Clearly an act worth the time.

I have used many other Nikon non-ED zoom lenses and found the output very good, but not as good as the Nikon ED class of

It is a great lens when you get used to its size. Fast, silent focus, very sharp optics, nice bokeh. Expensive, however.
