My AF-S 24-70mm Nikkor f2.8G is a good general fast zoom lens. Most moderate lowlight situations f2.8 is enough. In dark concerts or bars, it struggles. The VR is not necessary if you select your shutter speed correctly. The lens is sharp from f4 to f8. Color fringing disappears after f4. If you know you’re going to be in lowlight situations swap to prime f1.4 lenses (that’s what they are for).
Quick notes:
- Outdoor; daylight; stop down
- Indoor if bright; f2.8 but change to prime f1.4 if dim
