Nikon 24-85mm f/2.8-4D IF AF

1929NCP_180
Review Date: Sep 28, 2010 Recommend? no | Price paid: Not Indicated | Rating: 9 

 
Pros: Good range for full framers. Usable at wide open. Gets sharp closed one stop. Useful macro mode.
Cons:
Distortion at wide end. Soft when subject is back-lit (flare).

This lens is surprisingly sharp through out the focal range once stopped down a stop. Reasonable build quality for a consumer grade zoom. No creeps. Almost perfect vacation lens due to size, focal range and image quality. This lens is my most used lens on D3s. However, with release of 24-120/4 VR, I cannot recommend this lens today.
