  | sent on 06 Marzo 2024 Pros: Impeccable sharpness from f/4 onwards; Lightning-fast AF on cameras with an internal autofocus motor (it's not AF-s); very good rendering of tones and colors; it still has the aperture ring; Nice and useful macro function Cons: Clumsy and quite heavy; dim at f/2.8; distorts a lot at 24mm; it's not AF-s Opinion: Very old lens that I bought second-hand many years ago. It's at its best with older generation Nikon DX (APS-C) digital cameras, which still support on-camera AF. I still use it with pleasure on an old Nikon D300 where it corresponds to a 36-127.5, an interesting focal range for portrait, street and certain types of landscape. On the D300 the AF is very fast because the focus ring has a very short angle of rotation before switching to the macro function (which is normally locked by a selector). It returns very beautiful colors and an interesting tonal range. I also used it on a Nikon FM-2 as the aperture ring is present, unlockable, and allows it to be used even on old analog and manual Nikons. With a little care, you can also use it as a macro lens, which is quite sharp. Never tried it on FF. In short, an interesting lens. Rated 9 |
  | sent on 26 Ottobre 2022 Pros: Good autofocus, great extension Cons: Not high second-hand price Opinion: Test thoroughly on the D700, I consider it an honest lens that does its job as long as you close it at f8, below it remains soft like all those of the film era and on FF it has an obvious vignetting. I have not tested it on apsc, surely with the crop factor according to my point of view it should be sharper at the edges unlike the FF. For portraiture remains an excellent lens as it returns a soft and creamy file, for the price that is used I recommend it, certainly do not expect miracles. |
 | sent on 06 Gennaio 2022 Pros: Weight; price; macro; Cons: I don't see any Opinion: There is no objective and absolute way to evaluate optics, so it depends on what are the expectations and the use that is made of them. I take pictures of landscapes, I use filters, easel, and I need a bag that is not very heavy, I am not a professional, I also make audio recordings in the field, so I ride with double equipment. In addition to a fixed 20mm f1.8, which is my favorite, I needed a zoom with which to have different possibilities both for landscapes, framing details, and to be able to capture even some non-human animal that presented itself to me in my travels in nature. This lens is a perfect travel companion, which contains all the features I was looking for. Obviously the difference is made by those who photograph, so I also recommend viewing the many examples of shots that are below, to understand the remarkable potential of this lens with a single price. |
 | sent on 05 Novembre 2020 Pros: Value for money. Good optical quality, macro function. Cons: Some flare problem in the backlight Opinion: Recently purchased on the bay, winning an auction for only 150€. Used on the D700 I find it great as a handyman. On the d700 it is very balanced and I do not find any contraindications. Sharp, engraved images. Highly recommended if you find a used in good condition. Some complain about the weight but a zoom starting at f/2.8 cannot have "minimal" dimensions. A little soft to TA and extreme focal points, but it resolves by diaphragm a little. |
 | sent on 27 Febbraio 2020 Pros: Optical Quality, Macro Cons: It weighs a lot Opinion: As I said for the 3.5-4.5 model review: you do a lot of talking about Nikon's 35mm/full frame average zooms, there are vague videos, articles, sites etc. to understand the differences between the versions above, that date in fullframe kit some have ago with filters from 67 and the latest version, the one with VR. I read everything about these 3 lenses and used them together and tested them for a long time both on fullframe and aps-c (dx). Leaving aside the technical speeches, I will come only to the hard, the only real usable lens is the 2.8-4 IF, the other 2 I found simply useless. Of course if you don't even have a lens it will help you to make generic photos but other than that you do little. The real difference is the version 2.8-4 IF Macro, the autofocus is not very fast but the colors are beautiful, the portraits have the right gap between subject and background, the glass of which it is composed feels that they are "old school". It has the usual problem of being more oxen and cartoonfrom 70mm onwards but at 85 you make us a really nice portrait. Before changing system was the last Nikon zoom I held. Bought today at 180 degrees will disfigure any other zoom. If you are looking for absolute performance you have to buy a fixed optics. |
 | sent on 19 Febbraio 2018 Pros: small and versatile Cons: full-open quality Opinion: It is an optic that can give good results on APS if you do not climb too much with mpix. This is my first 'digital' optic that at the time I paired with a D70, but it must be considered that it was born as a lens for use on film; comparing it to other 'standard' zooms of other brands, then it proved much superior to the contrast and the general sharpness of the image, and allowed me to capture beautiful images. As the number of machine bodies grows, to get to the 12 mpix of the D300, unfortunately began to show all its limits and from my comparative tests with the -bistracted- AFS VR 24-120 3.5/5.6 at full opening is much more kneaded at the edges, and then gradually improve closing the diaphragm, but without ever exceeding the 24-120 and I must say that this result surprised me not a little, but t'a. Suitable for machines no more than 10 mpix, it is useless to think of using it on 24 mpix APS machines, there are around newer optics (type 18-55) and much better. vote 7 |
 | sent on 19 Febbraio 2018 Pros: versatile Cons: it's zoom. loses a diaphragm Opinion: I do not like zooms but this lens has been with me for a long time, I mistreated it and now I would like to rearrange it. as a first zoom is great, useful the 35mm macro function for portraits very close to the subject. Of all the lenses I have is also the only one that gave me problems, and probably the cost will no longer be worth the repair. but if you find it in very good condition and you lack a zoom it can be a good idea. but given the low cost of fixed lenses of excellent quality, I recommend getting used to landlines. If you go out with the bag it is worth taking a couple if instead you go out only with the car will be much lighter and less invasive. |
 | sent on 01 Febbraio 2018 Pros: Good autofocus, brightness, focal excursion, small size, not excessive weight, close up.- Cons: f. 2.8 only at 24mm.- Opinion: I bought it used to use it with the F70. I use it almost permanently with the D750 and the yield is really excellent in all respects. The photos are well defined, the blur is pleasant and the colors are bright, do not envy anything to the most emblazoned 24-70mm. f.2,8.- Excellent also for street photography due to its reduced size and weight. The Macro function is more than acceptable, even if it gives me the idea of ??a close-up. I recommend the purchase, possibly used. |
 | sent on 01 Aprile 2017 Pros: focal excursion, value for money, Cons: Weight, only 24mm F2.8 Opinion: It is an honest zoom that saw the price used vehicle is worth buying it on again instead still costs too much, returns clean images and engraving is good, is an amateur optical but good quality the bad thing is that is only 24mm a 2.8 to 50mm F3.3 is really buiornMa 240 cafes you can not expect everything even macro already ds 35mm rnEssendo is an optical repeat honest no frills a bit 'dated and heavy that advice is worth its money rnVoto 7RN |
 | sent on 11 Dicembre 2015 Pros: Good construction, excellent range of focal, macro function, fairly bright Cons: Sprained Minimum focus. Others did not notice Opinion: It's a good all-rounder. It features a more than adequate strength and its macro function is very convenient. The colors I really like with gradual and soft tonal passages typical of optical vintage but also has excellent sharpness diaframmando a bit '. I must say that I did not find large differences in the use with bodies FF or APSC. It is cheap on the used market and recommend it to all my friends amateur photographers who need a versatile lens to be used every day or read outputs. Rating 8 |
 | sent on 20 Novembre 2014 Pros: light, macro, great colors, fast autofocus Cons: too light, made in apertures, Opinion: is a lens that I possess for many years ... and has always given me good satisfaction to ... apertures is great for portraits ... almost looks like a fuzzy .... but stopping down to 5.6 -8 becomes crystal clear ..... right format has a very good color rendering is that of defining the format fx ... the yield on the edge is not the best ..... it is not perfect I'm sure a lens optics more expensive and have features tecnichernsuperiori made clean .... but the strong point of this is just not perfect ..... irreplaceable creative hands .. |
 | sent on 29 Giugno 2014 Pros: good vision to 24 mm, distortion absent on film, af fairly fast, brightness Cons: Build quality is not exciting outdoor Opinion: I've used it for a long time on my F80 (of course we talk about the film). The auto focus does his job honestly and the lens was at his best at 24. brightness with a 2.8 is respectable, even if talking about the film is best to work quite high. the external build quality is not great, but I've seen worse. has a good setting and a good "manual". I've never tried it on digital, but film is really a lot of satisfaction |
 | sent on 09 Settembre 2013 Pros: Small size, good performance on DX, good focal range (for me is the all-rounder, are the focal more use), macro function, Bright enough and good focus. Cons: New Price high (just buy used), on FX lose quality at the edges, not exactly razor sharp macro as it requires a macro lens. Opinion: And 'the zoom more use, it has a color rendering that I like a lot and a nice blurred. It 'a little' soft, the new version is much sharper but he also defends well. The macro function helps in many situations, although it is not really suitable as it does not have the sharpness and contrast that have macro lenses dedicate.rnDimensioni contained heavy and not make it an excellent lens to always carry dietro.rnA 24mm wide-angle lens has a fairly without distort too, at 85 a decent portrait lens at f / 4, which allows a pleasant out of focus. |
 | sent on 02 Ottobre 2011 Pros: Light, compact, versatile focal range of fx, macro function. complete! excellent on right. Cons: mediocre on fx for vignetting, distortion at 24 and mixed edges. construction is not pro. cost of the new in my opinion not in line with the services provided, to take used. Opinion: Objective born for film and borrowed the digital power factor correction typical of optical afd, I call creamy color, style afs 28-70 or 80-200 afd to speak. Has a range in my opinion very versatile FX, a little tight on the wide side in DX, makes it better on the latter course, while on fx shows all its limitations, such as distortion and vignetting evident in 24mm and poorly defined edges. Improves closing at f8/f11 and does not shine for a fuzzy all 'coverage despite being bright (f2.8-4, 2.8 to 24mm only). Autofocus velcoe although afd, construction pro but not compact and not too heavy, in my opinion used to be taken as a "tourist" even on fx (it also has the function macro 35mm and above). Of course, if you can get the 24-70 .. ;) |
