Specifications
Lens rental package includes: Front cap, rear cap, UV filter, tripod collar, lens hood.
Description Optics aside it's a phenomenal zoom and part of the Nikon holy trinity that also includes the 14-24mm f/2.8G and the 24-70mm f/2.8G. If you're shooting on a crop sensor body such as the D90 or D300 the VR1 version of this lens will suit your needs just fine. If you're living in the full-frame world though, as soon as you attach this lens to your camera body and rotate it into position you will hear angels sing. |

Jennifer: I've rented this lens three times in the past year, and twice this summer -- I was light on weddings and couldn't justify purchasing it while I could rent it -- and both times it was great! I will definitely be renting it till I can afford to just have it, but in the meantime, this is a fabulous resource. I will note that the first time I rented it this summer, it didn't come in a carrying case, and it was a stretch to work it into my Shootsac + smaller bag set-up and feel like it was adequately protected. The second time, it had it's own case though, and everything was great!
Jessica: I first heard about this lens during this years WPPI while hearing wedding photographer Susan Stripling speak. It's her favorite go-to lens and has allowed her to create a very particular style within her work. The lens can be used from a rear church balcony to catch the most minute details, or in outdoor portraits to pull the background in as a creamy backdrop. Great lens.
Adam : I've used this lens on several different occasions, once for a wedding and two different times shooting pro wakeboarding. It's big and heavy, but totally worth it. The quality glass helps produce astounding images, with a very specific style. It also gives a large amount of creative control with its large f/2.8 aperture, as well as being able to get far away from your subjects and isolating them against the background. Probably one of the best lenses I've used.
Andrew: I rented this lens for a weekend of football. One high school day game and the Steelers vs Patriots game which I had a sideline pass for. I'm just getting into the higher end equipment of the sports photography world and I have to say, I do believe I fell in love with this lens. A focusing issue at first, but I realized it was the cameras setting, not the lenses fault. It gave me amazingly sharp images. This is a must for sports photography. I can't wait til I get to rent it again for baseball season and when I finally save enough to buy it. Ordering process was fast and simple.
