Two shots from my new Nikon 24-70 2.8, will take a little getting used to.

Hi Craig, how you finding the weight/size proportion with your camera body?

On the 2nd pic, there is a little bit of red hue on the lower right side, is it lens flare? How well is flaring controlled in this lens?

After two weeks using nearly only the 18-200VR I am concious of the extra weight, the balance around your neck (camera resting on your chest) isn't as nice its lens heavy so points a bit towards the ground. I hadn't noticed the colour tint before you mentioned it but I can see it, there shouldn't of been flaring in that shot (overcast and sun at my back) but tomorrow when I go shooting I'll check it out. (I only took half a dozen shots on my quick walk to get lunch).

Well done Craig, great lens. The red was probably due to some reflection, were you wearing a bright pink/red shirt? :lol: :lol:

Blue shirt (I was wondering) but there was a red sign on the other side.
