Updated: Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR
Updated: Nikon 70-210mm f/4
Updated: Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G
I brought these pages up to modern standards.
An important point is that I bought my 24-70mm f/2.8G over 10 years ago, and it's still working exactly as it always has and still sold new today. If I bought a junk brand instead, would that lens still shine on my D850 today?

Help me help you
I support my growing family through this website, as crazy as it might seem.
If you find this as helpful as a book you might have had to buy or a workshop you may have had to take, feel free to help me continue helping everyone.
If you've gotten your gear through one of my links or helped otherwise, you're family. It's great people like you who allow me to keep adding to this site full-time. Thanks!
If you haven't helped yet, please do, and consider helping me with a gift of $5.00.
The biggest help is when you use any of these links when you get anything, regardless of the country in which you live. It costs you nothing, and is this site's, and thus my family's, biggest source of support. eBay is always a gamble, but all the other places always have the best prices and service, which is why I've used them since before this website existed. I recommend them all personally.
Thanks for reading!
Ken
