Great mid range zoom due to1. sharpness2. weight in comparison to the 24-70mm and 28-70mm3. added macro feature4. Super value for money

WeightMacro featureSharpnessGood colour rendition but does not beat the 24-70mm which is in a class of its ownValue for money (24-70mm and 24-120mm VR F4 are far more expensive)

Build quality - plasticSample variation (mine is super sharp from wide open)No VR

Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 24-85mm f/2.8-4D IF 35mm Zoom

 

Quite the best Nikon lens in this range, I have used and at that price an absolute steal. I have a very sharp copy with no front or rear focussing issues and sharp at the 24mm (f2.8) end though slightly less so at the 85mm end. Very well built and...

F2.8 is effective, great for portraits, no silent wave focussing but no slouch either.Can be used confidently in a whole host of situations especially relatively low light despite not having VR

I believe there is some inconsistency in the quality from lens to lens. Not really a true landscape lens on a cropped sensor camera

Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 24-85mm f/2.8-4D IF 35mm Zoom

 

i find this lense very appealing, becoz of its huge and macho feel, i dont want small lenses, but feature wise this lense is practically sharp, im gonna rate it 9.5/10 and it also has a very close focussing distance, like if i put on the hood and place...

japan made, built like a tank!72mm filter only..fast lense, 2.8-4macro capable, 1:2 ratio. very close focussing at 1-1.5" distance.good quality picsvery sharp

heavier than that smaller version non macro lense 24-85 wd 67mm filtermore expensive also, maybe because its a japan lense :)

Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 24-85mm f/2.8-4D IF 35mm Zoom

 

I have used the 24-85 Nikkor since it was introduced. It has been my prime lens for my F100s and now my D 100 and 200. My primary use is in fire photography with my busy volunteer fire department. It is duarble, reasonably fast, and displays excellent...

Fast, sharp, compact, versatile, easy to use

A little noisy

Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 24-85mm f/2.8-4D IF 35mm Zoom

 

I sold the 24-120 AF VR to buy this lens, and have never looked back. I owned the 24-85 AF-S before that. The 24-85 F2.8-4 is a much sharper lens, and I can use it on the manual focus cameras I own, a Nikon FG and a EM, both used for kick around...

Fast focusing on the F100, nearly as fast on the D100. Easy focusing on the manual cameras due to the 2.8 wide aperture. Very little barrel distortion on the D100, not so good on the F100 where it shows up quite well on the full frame 35mm. This lens...

As noted, noisy af. Wide open at the short end there is light falloff in the corners on the 35mm frame, barely noticable on the D100. Distortion at both ends of the zoom range, but is distortion free at 35-65mm area on the D100. Somewhat prone to flare...
