Since I am a paralyzed photographer so changing lenses can be a bit dangerous for the lens. I currently use the Tamron version and love it. The lens suits such a wide variety for a person in a wheelchair. Love the channel. I was a police officer and was shot in the line of duty. I picked up photography as a therapeutic means and fell in love with it. Thanks for all the help you give. Have a great day.

Got an update on how its been going?

This has made me remember the amazing feelings and emotions you get after making the effort to get out in the landscape early in the morning and that buzz you get when you capture some amazing images before the light then gets too harsh and you have to pack up!

I just got my first 24-70 after dreaming of one for years. Loving it so far. I haven’t put it through it’s paces with landscapes yet but it has been fun around the house with the kids. It is such a great and natural range that I don’t know what I did without it.

Thank you for another interesting video Nigel. You are clearly the top photographer vlogging from the UK. Why? It is because your videos are entertaining, but also very informative and educational. You actually seem to care about those who are viewing the videos. Some photographers are only concerned with themselves and fail to consider the audience. Your positive attitude and open nature distinguish you from the others. Your videos are fresh and they avoid the trap of repeating cliche after cliche. Thanks again!

15:05 That drone shot is a work of art. The ice looks like one of those images from a NASA probe on another planet! So abstract and lovely.

Just everything about this video makes me want to go shoot. These relaxing, intimate moments, taking it slow and enjoying the space outside. The 24mm shot is just perfection. Thanks for the inspiration and all your great videos!

I have the 16-35 and the 70-200, both of which get plenty of use but my 24-70 gets used the most, it is super versatile and the best all rounder. I have photographed at both of your locations but the weather and your composition really elevated those shots. Thanks for the tips, excellent video again.

It sounds like this would be a great versatile lens for mountain hiking, which I do a lot, when I might not want to carry multiple lenses. Thanks for the tips!

I have only resently got in to photography and my 18 to 55mm is my go to lens even it's so versatile though the results aren't an patch on your. Your video are big inspiration to keep work and improving.

My 24-70 lens is the one I use most and I absolutely love it. It was also the first one I had and I think it is a great one to start with if you are a beginner.

Big congrats on the 100k Nigel! Well deserved! Father of 2, living in a city but escaping to the mountains as often as I can, I love my 24-70 (well actually my Fuji 18-55) for its sheer versatility. Nothing comes close, espacially when packing light. I can shoot wide (architecture in the city, landscape in the mountains), cover the magical 35mm and 50mm focal length for street photography, isolate details, get quite a bit of compression and shoot lovely portraits of my kids at the longer focal length end of it. I love every gram of that lens!

When I first started getting seriously into photography I had a 50mm, a 14mm and a 300mm. Thinking I had all my bases covered. These days I prefer the 24-70 range. I find the extremes have been way overdone and you can nearly do everything in that range.

I’ve just added a 24-70 to my lenses. It’s an f4 and also makes a great travel lens - light and versatile.

I just ordered the 24-70 f4 today hoping it makes my camera lighter and more travel friendly cause I miss it so much. Happy birthday to me!:)

I have the 24-105mm but it covers the 24-70mm focal length and right now it’s all I use for my landscape photography. I love how the long end compresses perspective and draws you into the scene and 24mm is just wide enough to open up the wilderness. Brilliant video / all I need now is a much better tripod - fingers, toes and everything crossed. Thank you for the great content and keep up the incredible work.

I to love the 24-70 lens, it adds so much more to the dimensions of shooting. I appreciate all your insight on photography and have been subscribed and watching you for a few months now.

I don't have the 24-70, but the 24-105 instead and I absolutely love it. I would however not call it the ultimate lens. The best lens is the one giving you the focal length you need for the particular scene. I wouldn't be without the 70-200 or my 12-24. Versatility is everything for me :)

I'd take a 25-105 f4 over a 24-70 f2.8 as my all round lens.

I´ve just begun this photography path. 1 Year learning different things on my own only using the camera kit lens 18-55 mm. I decided to learn as much as possible with the basic gear and then go to the next level. The time has come and one of the lenses that have captured my attention the most has been the 24-70 mm because of its versatility. I´m ready for the next step with this lens and if the wallet helps me maybe a 35 or 16 mm too. Thanks, Nigel for all the knowledge and experience you have shared with us, I´ve learned much more with you rather than in the classroom, with due respect for all people who prefer this system and for all of them who have studied for more years than me in the classrooms. Cheers

Hi Nigel - another great vlog, been watching your episodes since the Lakes course I came on with you, they always fire me up to get out there again. Also your timing is spot-on, I was pondering whether or not to fill the gap between my long and wide zooms and you’ve just inspired me to go for it and invest in the pro-quality 24-70 to ‘complete the set’. I now totally get it, for example re: the useful mild compression effect at around the 70 end. Changed my thinking from “kit lens” to “the missing landscape tool in my armoury”. Keep it up mate and hearty congrats on the 100k - amazing!

im actually getting a 24-70mm today i think its a great lens for any type of photography :D congrats 100k

Interesting video Nigel. I tend to avoid the mid focal lengths and use either a 16-35 or a 70-300. Just wondering if you think you'll use the 24-70 as much when the native 14-30 comes out (assuming you pick one up)? Another great video so thanks very much and keep up the great content. Always find I learn something when I watch any of your videos!

My only concern is finding an L-bracket that fits my current tripod head and allows enough clearance for the FTZ adapter.

I appreciate the lens review and always enjoy your positive attitude about getting out and taking photos. I've added the 24-70 to my wish list.

I’m in the learning mode, so its good to find what lenses make sense to use and why. Nigel i truly love your vision of Mother Nature and the story she reveals.

Good morning Nigel, if it is an F4 zoom, I'd prefer 24-105mm F/4 than 24-70mm bearing in mind Z Mount does not have 24-105mm zoom range yet (adapt Sigma 24-105mm f/4 F mount?). When one is restricted by using one lens (zoom or prime), the creativity kicks in. You'll start thinking about what composition would work for this focal length in this given scene. Given the blea tarn superb morning scenery, I would not be a happy man if I don't have my 16-35mm with me. There is so much space you can step back before the descending begins which change the way you want to interpret the scene in your camera hence, 16-35mm would be more versatile there. When I do landscape, the ultimate tool for me would be 16-35mm F4, 70-200mm F4 and, if there's an opportunity for wildlife subject, 100-400mm. If space and weight is not an issue, I'll throw in 50mm 1.4 as well. Okay typed too much there, going to get my second coffee. Thanks for the video!

I also have the Nikon Z 24-70 f4 S and Love it for landscape and travel - it's a very good lens. IMO, if I had to carry only one lens, it would be the 24-70. If I had to carry only two lenses, it would be the 24-70 and 70-200. If I had to carry only three lenses, it would be the 24-70, 70-200, and 16-35. So as you can see, the 24-70 is a must have lens for me.

The 24-70 was the first lens I went out to buy! I love the versatility it provides. All the landscapes I have take have been with this lens.. certainly makes the bag lighter, and combined with panorama its reach can be stretched! Love watching your channel! keep up the good work!

Congrats on the 100k, Nigel!! Great video. I don't go anywhere without my 24-70 lens. It is my go to lens, if I really need to cut down on weight. It is such a versatile lens and handy for just about any occasion.

The 24-70 is an awesome lens, but I feel 24-105 is a bit more versatile. Also doubles as a travel lens. For landscapes where a little more range is needed, on either end, the 16-35 and 70-200 combo work pretty well IMO

I had a good experience with my Tamron G2 until I got the Z6 then seemed soft, not as sharp as before

I am going to play devil's advocate and say I find 24-70 quite redundant. I own a 16-35, a 50 prime & 70-200. I never find myself thinking "I really wish I was at 40 or 45mm!"... Or "I really wish I was at 60mm!".. If I do, I will just shoot a tad wider with one of those lenses and crop in post. The 50mm gives me a cheap/budget friendly, ultra light, sharp, fast lens that's great for every day run around stuff, and covers the gap in my focal length if it's truly necessary.. Honestly I find myself shooting either long or wide.. Rarely too much inbetween.. And if I do need it, the 50mm is there.. I do find myself capping out at 35 and 70 from time to time but don't really ever find myself hunting for that extra 10-15mm. Furthermore.. If I do need that extra coverage, I find a lot of the time I can just take a step or two back and be perfectly fine.. Would I have it if it was given to me? Sure.. However considering I already have a lot of weight in my f2.8 16-35 & 70-200, I probably would just toss the super cheap & light 50mm f1.8 in my bag instead.

I get your point, but the 24-70 is more practical as you don't need to change lens to cover a vast range of situations. From wide 24 for landscapes, 35, 50 for events and 70 for portraits. Of course you don't get 16mm or 200mm but that's the price for not carrying more lens or changing lens. Just practical and versatile.

@@ee01233 I mean sure, it covers a very medium focal length.. However it gets completely redundant by the other two for landscape photography... And getting a 50 just fills the gap perfectly adequately, with far less weight for next to no cost. I mean we are comparing $1500 to $100 here. If you can only have one lens? Absolutely.. Get a 24-70. It falls under the "jack of all trades, master of none" category.. If you have the wide, and you have the long.. You don't really need it. In fact I would say it's just flat out not worth getting it. The 50 prime is perfect for events. In fact I argue that it's better as it's faster, for those poorly lit event locations. This falls under the primes vs zooms debate really.. A zoom lens is always going to be "more versatile" arguably.. However wherever you can replace a zoom with a prime, I say go for it.. And this is one of those cases in my opinion. The most value lens for landscape photography I argue is actually a 70-200..

Thanks for another great video. I really like the 24-70 mm equivalent focal range (for me it's 16-55 on an APS-C). I like to take my camera hiking with me and take photos as they present themselves. On these unplanned photo sessions, I find that changing lenses causes me to miss shots. I like how versatile this range is and most of the time it is all I need, and when it's not I can make it work by stitching or cropping photos. It's a great starting place for landscape photography.

Great video as always. Learnt a huge amount from them. As you say I think the versatility with these lenses makes them great

Great video, thank you for educational and inspirational work you do. During my last big trip, I tried to save room in my camera bag and bought a Tamron 18-400mm as my walk around lens. Although it was lighter than bringing 2 other lenses, the images I took lacked the sharpness and quality I get from my 24-70 and 70-200. When I got home, I traded in the 18-400 and will go back to adding more weight in my bag for quality photos. Lesson learned. On previous adventures I would use my 24-70 as my walk around lens, and only switch it out if the circumstances needed a wider angle or zoom.

Another great video Nigel. I don't own a 24-70mm lens but have always thought it would be a great lens for landscape photography especially on those adventures where you want to lessen the gear you take. Thank you for sharing your insight and wisdom yet again.

The 24-70 mm was one of the first lenses I purchased after my d750 read so many reviews and watched so many vlogs on how good a lens it was I just had to get it and to tell the truth I have not been disappointed its a cracking lens for landscape.

Great video Nigel. What I love about the 24 mm end of the zoom is how the lens angle of view and perspective come so close to the view angle that my eyes see as I prepare to shoot the scene. From a creativity standpoint, that matching field of view really helps me intuitively improve the final result. I can then just concentrate on getting the technical aspects correct for that great shot. Great job on video production, both stills and drone shots.

Hi Nigel - congratulations on hitting a 100k subscribers! I’m just getting started in photography and love your videos. After seeing this video and the pictures you took the 24-70 lens will definitely be my next lens.

i really like the 24-70, I always have one with me, especially when i go out just to walk with no special idea in mind, so many possibilities with it !

Nigel - love your videos. They are always beautifully made and I learn a lot from you. I just picked up the Z 6, but the body only.

I started into landscapes 10 years ago and have let them go as work life took over. I also recently have made changes in life to bring back my family focus and enjoy may visual arts. Take care!

Hi Nigel another entertaining video always look forward to them. Agree with your assessment of the 24-70 it was my first purchase when I upgraded to interchangeable lens camera I have never regretted that decision, a really good all round usefull lens that can save weight in the kit bag sometimes. Its also works well when partnered with a 70-200 . Congratulations on your 100k by the way well deserved.

Thanks for the great video. Because of this I've ordered a 24-70 which had been missing from my bag!

I'm a Canon user and my go-to lens is my 24-70mm f/2.8. I absolutely love this lens. It's sharp fast enough to use indoors in all but the darkest situations. And it's extremely versatile. With this lens and my 70-200mm, I could shoot 90% of what I photograph. Thanks for this tutorial, Nigel. I always enjoy your videos. (Found you through Sean Tucker.) Keep up the good work. I'm saving up for one of your workshops. ;)

I have the Nikon Z6 24-70 f4 S and Love it. i don't use any off my old F mount faster lenses anymore amazing lenses and Keep up the amazing work Nigel.

I agree..my 24-70 is the lens that is always on my camera. Very versatile as you showed in another great video! I will shoot panoramas with it as well to give a more wide image. Thank you for sharing your work... you are an inspiration!

Congrats with 100000 subscribers! That´s a lot. 24-70 mm lens is on my wish list. Best regards Dag from Norway

I normally use the same 24-70 f4 and I agree with you that it is a fantastic lense ,and very light weight lense, which cover 90% of my needs. Therefore , it is living in my camera. Nigel thank you for all these amazing videos which are teaching me lots of techniques.

I have started to use my Fuji 16-55mm a lot more for landscapes, my initial hesitation towards this lens had nothing to do with the lens itself but more of my lack of "skill" when it came to composition and how to properly frame my shots. I am very thankful for channels like yours, Andy Mumford and Thomas Heaton for all the knowledge you share about landscapes and the joy that you bring to taking pictures. The 10-24, 16-55 and 50-140 are the three lenses I find are most suited to my photography style but also just to be able to fill the gap between all of ranges I would like to have. If the 8-16mm wasn't so expensive I would like to look into that one day as well. But I will say the 16-55 is the most used lens that I own. Thanks for all your great work and more importantly sharing it with all of us.

Another great informative video. It's not a lens I have at present as I'm just starting out. Your vlog is a constant inspiration and I'm looking forward to putting some of your top tips into practice and creating my own "it really doesn't get better than this" moments.

I find the 24-70mm lens is on my camera more than any of the others and if I’m travelling light and only taking one lens the 24-70 is the one I’ll choose. A fast lens with good quality glass produces pin sharp images right up to F16. Another top vid from you Nigel. Very informative as always.

I shoot with my Canon 24-105 eighty percent of the time. I love it. A lot of the information in this video is still pertinent. Thanks Nigel.

Good to see you back
