Q: 1. Wil this lens autofocus be controlled by Sony FS5 and FS7?

A: The autofocus works on current Sony models in video, such as the Sony A7S III, FX3 and FX6. Unfortunately, we were not able to test this lens on the FS5 or FS7 as they are discontinued models.

Q: 2. Can the Nikon F100 control the aperture of this lens, or is it unable to do so like the new VR version?

A: Yes the Nikon F100 can control the aperture on the AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED Lens.

Q: 3. This seems to be the only Pro Level Nikon lens w/o vibration reduction. Do you know if they intend to bring out a model with vibration reduction in the near future? Seems this is the lens where it is most important as it is generally used hand held.

A: This focal range, while being of those most commonly used, falls with a focal range where stabilization is less of an issue until you get to slower shutterspeeds. In photography, the general rule of effectively hand-holding lenses dictates that the shutterspeed should match (or closely match) the focal length. As an example when using a 50mm lens, the slowest shutterspeed one should shoot handheld (without flash or tripod) would be 1/50th or more commonly 1/60th of a second. (Since focal lengths and shutter speeds dont always match up, round up to the next highest shutterspeed). With a 24-70mm lens one should effectively be able to take shots at 1/30th of a second at 24mm and 1/125th of a second at 70mm. With that said, with practice and experience it is possible to shoot at speeds slower than the rule above dictatesthe rule is more of a guide. For what its worth, Canon does not offer IS in their version of the 24-70mm f2.8 lens they offer. Including stabilization would make a lens like this increase in cost and also size and I think for marketability purposes the vibration reduction is not included for that reason. As for the future, anything is possible; unfortunately manufacturers do not inform us of their future intentions. We just have to wait for them to make an official announcement.

Q: 4. Would this lens be a good match for the D500?

A: Yes, but it depends what effective focal length you are looking for. Since your camera has an aps-c sensor, the focal length will be similar to a 36-105mm. If you are looking for more of a wide-standard zoom, then I would recommend the 17-55mm 2.8. Click the link below to view; https://bhpho.to/31c4HMQ

Q: 5. If I put an ftz adapter on this lens, will it work on the z series well? If so, how good will the image sharpness be compared to the Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S lens on a z series camera (let's say a z7)?

A: Nikon designed the FTZ adapter and the Z series cameras to work with their native lenses, so this lens would work well on the Z cameras adapted with the FTZ adapter. The S version of the lens is the sharpest version of the 24-70 that Nikon has produced to date, so it will be a better performer.

Q: 6. Will this lens perform well when use on Nikon D610?

A: Yes, this is one of Nikon's top tier professional lenses and will perform wonderfully on the D610 camera.

Q: 7. I don't have a full frame camera its a D5600, but can I use this lens without any problems?

A: Yes, the D5600 can use either a crop frame or a full frame lens. The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED is fully compatible with the D5600.

Q: 8. how does this lens compare to the g master in terms of sharpness and image quality?

A: The GM lens shows a noticeable difference in sharpness over this lens.

Q: 9. Will this lens work with Megadap ETZ21 Pro Adapter?

A: The Samyang 24-70mm f/2.8 AF Zoom Lens would be able to be physically mounted onto a Nikon Z series camera via the Megadap ETZ21 Pro Sony E-Mount Lens to Nikon Z-Mount Autofocus Adapter. With both of these items being third-party to the camera, we would not be able to guarantee compatibility.

Q: 10. I have noticed that the newer version of this lens has VR. It seems that this lens is a bit heavy. Does anyone feel that the VR is needed? It would be out of my price range to buy the VR, but I do not want to waste my money on the non-vr and regret it either.

A: I just got it , up grading from an 18-105 kit lens, it is a huge improvement. I spent Saturday doing a Christmas photo shoot, over 700 images. It was a dark cloudy day. I am super happy with it , sharp images and we shot until nearly dark with even some of those being keepers. I did not find it heavy at all but I normally shoot a200-500 hand held. I am keeping the lens.
