A must have

The Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8G AF-S ED Lens is a fast mid-length zoom that sports a Silent Wave Motor for quiet operation. The 2.8 aperture is suitable for most low-light situations and the rugged construction means this lens can be used in inclement weather and dusty environments. The optical glass used in this lens controls chromatic aberrations and produces pleasing contrast. The anti-reflective coating virtually eliminates internal lens flare. This lens covers a large range of focal lengths that are suitable for event and travel photography - from wide angle to short telephoto. It is also an ideal portrait zoom lens, especially when paired with a crop sensor camera body making it an effective 36-105mm - great lengths for photographing people.
