I've looked there (B&H) - they advertise as "used" and give them various ratings depending upon how used but do not specifically state that they have been "refurbished" as they do at the Nikon site.

Thanks again, sounds like a good plan.

Thanks- that makes sense to me.

Curious, does anyone here think buying a "refurbished" 24-70 f2.8 lens from Nikon is a good idea? Its about $500 cheaper than a new one. Any thoughts appreciated.

..also why it is ignored. ;)


That would be your opinion re the D610, D750, D810

Your opinion is not shared by most professional reviewers...

Kind of straying here from the original question re the 3 camera choices...

B&H didn't think the 810 was better...

An 810 is really that much better than the D750? Worth $1000 more, I kind of doubt it...

If you do plan on getting the 70-200 also, than to me that's a no brainer, with the 24-70 and the 70-200 (both 2.8) you'll have that 24-120 covered and much more, why even bother?


Well, both of those lenses are quite of bit weight to carry around on a regular basis. My thoughts are to use a 24-120 as a walk around travel lens and when you plan a day of taking pics use the 24-70 to get the best quality shots. Likewise the telephoto, 70-200, would be use for a planned shoot/trip where you know you need the distance...

shot with 24-120 for 10 years, loved it.
Shot with 24-70 on D800 for 9 months love it.
shot with 70-200 on D800 for a year. too long to be WA. Too short to be tele. Great lens though for floral closeups and aisle shots at weddings.


So, since you've used both (24-120 and 24-70) extensively, and I see no reason to have both, which would you choose?

Thanks; so I guess you would go with the 24-70 rather than the 24-120 as your main lens? No issues with the lack of reach, only 70mm?

Thanks, my only concern re the 24-70 is the lack of reach but then I guess if I later acquire the 70-200 its not an issue but I do prefer to just have one main lens as my go-to without packing...

Considering either going with the kit lens, 24-120, or spending a little more for the 24-70 f2.8. This will be my first lens for a FX and thus my main lens other than a 70-200 some day and a prime lens for portraits.

What do you think? Go with the 24-120 or the 24-70? I just would rather spend more on the f2.8 if that's the way to go - I mainly shoot landscape and family pics... Thanks.
