Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24–70mm f/2.8G ED Standard Zoom Lens: Designed to withstand heavy use, this lens is ideal for professional and skilled amateur photographers. With a focal length that ranges from wide angle to medium telephoto and a 2.8 maximum aperture, this versatile zoom lens is useful in a broad range of settings.
The lens is good for subjects that are not moving. Then, I bought the same len with vibration reduction VR. With VR, I found the lens to be eight times faster. This means, my subjects were no longer telling me to hurry up. Both lens are great, but VR is awesome.
