AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm 1:2.8G ED N
This is my first professional zoom lens I owned. I bought this from the B&H superstore in Manhattan, N.Y. It's not any cheaper to buy it at the store vs. online but I was there anyways (considering paying for Lincoln tunnel, NJ turnpike, it would be more expensive to buy it from the store. Parking is free if you spend enough money in the store). Needless to say that the focus is fast and pictures are beautiful. The max aperture is 1/2.8 for the entire zoom range. So, it's very fast for a zoom lens but my $200 35mm f/1.8 DX lens is much faster than this $2,000 lens. But, it's worth every penny because it can zoom (obviously), Bokeh is better, weather sealed, I can use it for fx (full frame) camera and fit my 77mm filters.
