The 24-70mm f/2.8G ED AF-S is Nikon’s standard-range zoom. It’s optimized for edge-to-edge sharpness on full-frame cameras and is the predecessor to the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8E ED AF-S VR.

It would only worry pixel-peepers. The older lens is sharp from centre to lens edge, but overall, it's not as sharp as the newer VR version. Ansel Spear's gear list: Sony RX100 VII Nikon D850 Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm F1.4G Nikon AF Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8D Nikon PC-E Nikkor 24mm f/3.5D ED +16 more.

Anyways, I highly recommend the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8E VR, it’s an amazing lens in almost every way. It’s sharp, it’s colors and contrast are amazing, it’s autofocus is very fast and it’s VR really works well. I can handhold this lens for as slow as a one second long exposure and get sharp results.
