Fast and Quality Optics

I owned this lens since when it first came out in the market and have used it for about 8 months now. I'm not going to go any detailed specs here but I'm going to say a few things about the lens in real life.
Cons: It's expensive and heavy. But as you know, f/2.8 zoom lens in this class is pretty much the same with other brand. Nikon lens are fairly expensive compare to Sigma, Tamron brands fitted to Nikon camera and at the end, you get what you paid for.
This newly introduced 24-70mm f/2.8G ED AF-S has special coating on the glass, they call it "NANO" coating and I've noticed that this lens produces less purple fringe(chromatic aberration) than my other older Nikon lens without "NANO" coating.
Even at f/2.8 wide open, it still produces sharp images and makes nice bokeh background. Focuses fast and virtually silent when focusing. I just wish they had put VR(Vibration Reduction) on this unit and it would have been perfect!
It's pretty big too, so I had to get a new bag to fit this and the lens hood nicely.
If you want exceptional quality lens in 24-70mm range for your Nikon, look no further. This is the one.
Hope this was helpful.
