Hi! Welcome to Adorama! How are you today? My name is Anne. How can I help you?
Hi! Are you shopping for a lens today?
yes, thanks
Anne A.
great! how can I help?
I like to know how heavy the 70-200mm f/2.8 lens compares to the 70mm f2.8 lens
Anne A.
let me check
compares to the mid lens xx - 70mm f2.8
Anne A.
which lens are you comparing it to? I am not aware of a 70mm lens
the mid lens, forgot the number XX - 70mm F2.8
Anne A.
ok, 24-70 f2.8 lens?
yes
which one is more heavy
Anne A.
I think the 70-200 is, but let me double check
the 70-200 is 54.3 oz
the new 24-70 vr lens is 38.4 oz
the non vr 24-70 is 39.2 oz
wow, it is kind heavy. I already has the mid lens which it feels heavy already, I brought it with me for traveling two weeks
Anne A.
it is a heavier lens
besides this one, do you have any good lens that you can recommend to me? I am looking for the lens which I can shot portrait from far or near me
Anne A.
what camera do you have?
Nikon D750
are you searching
Anne A.
yes - sorry!
do you want a NIkon brand lens?
or is a compatible lens ok?
Nikon lens. What is the different for a compatible lens.
Anne A.
you can get lenses from other brands with a nikon mount
like Tamron, Sigma, tokina
the 70-200 is a very good lens for portraits
do you have any good lens suitable for taking portrait from little far
Anne A.
how far away will you be?
I know the 70-200 is a very good lens for portraits, but it is too heavy for me to carry when I am traveling oversea
Anne A.
will you have the 24-70 with you too?
I think it would be too much to carry for traveling oversea :-)
Anne A.
would you be interested in prime lenses?
they are lighter and good for portraits too
do you have any good lens between the two lens that we are talking about
Anne A.
do you need f2.8?
the 24-120 is a great lens, but it's f4
does the 24-120mm F4 is a fix lens or not? If this is not a fix lens, what is the aperture range for this lens
Anne A.
this is a fixed aperture lens, meaning the aperture stays the same as you zoom in and out
it is f4 at the widest, but it can go as narrow as f22
oh, I see
Anne A.
on a lens that is not a fixed aperture, the aperture narrows as you zoom in so you have to change your settings more
how much it is
Anne A.
it's available reurbished for 579.95
or new for 1096.95

The aperture for this one can go from F4 and up to F22? and the new one costs $1306.95?
Anne A.

f22 is the smallest it'll go
I use that lens on a d750 as my general everyday lens
