Pros: It has everything you need in a zoom with this focal range, with the addition of a decent macro.

Cons: If you don't have a steady hand (it doesn't have VR) and you are looking for the nitty-gritty, you find something in it

Opinion: Found as new for €160 (the price is constantly growing) and tested on D750. I was immediately struck by the veracity of the images. An old style that evokes the "material" feeling of old films, or if you prefer, warms up that annoying feeling of "too digital" of many current lenses. Pasty colors, excellent shading, contrasts that are always well balanced. More than satisfied also on the B/W. I agree with anyone who has expressed positive opinions on this all-rounder, which can hardly find comparisons except by selling out at the cash register. The defects then? Edge sharpness? Vignetting? More than acceptable for a zoom with a decent focal range. The cumbersome macro function? If you know how to make coffee with the mocha, you know how to handle that well too! In short, as others have said, the only real flaw is that they don't do it anymore.

Pros: He is the only true all-rounder

Cons: For €100 the only con is not having it

Opinion: I cut to the chase, it's the best all-rounder I've ever had, and I've tried all the 24-70 2.8 Nikon Tamron Sigma, all the Nikon 24-120 and the 24-85. If you are a professional who has to bring home the result the best is the 24-70 2.8G, but it is sterile, excellent resolution but closed shadows and shades to work a lot. This old man is instead an exaggerated stuff for the cost, it is plastic but on d800 and d850 you don't even hear it, at TA it is to be used for portraiture for the blurry edges and vignetting, from 5.6 it is a real all-rounder, indoors, exteriors, landscapes, macros on the fly, travel, street. As far as the d850 and 750 files are now workable, embarrassing ISOs can be used and excellent A4 prints can be obtained. I had it years ago, then I tried all the stuff mentioned above to do events, ceremonies and trips (as an amateur) I took it up again some time ago and in hindsight it was absolutely not to be sold.

Pros: Versatility (focal range, zoom), quality, weight, size, price

Cons: brightness, loss of quality at TA at extreme focal lengths (especially at the edges)

Opinion: The ultimate travel goal, especially for those who have to carry it on their shoulders. It does, on its own, what 3/4 fixed lenses do, not only for being a zoom with a large excursion (28-105), but also for being an "almost" macro. But the beauty is that it reaches a good quality at all focal lengths, losing only around 105. A TA pulls a bit off at the edges, but that's a common flaw. In the center, however, it is nice and clear. In the exteriors it is therefore really a marvel, while in the interiors it can have difficulties, due to the diaphragm that does not open more than 3.5. A good companion of his could therefore be a 20 f 2.8 or similar, which would allow him to add what little he cannot do alone, if he feels the need. But words are of little use, just look at the photos in the gallery to realize what he can do. Probably the best value purchase I've ever made.

Pros: Image quality, focal range, macro function, compactness, second-hand price.

Cons: Disabling macro function difficult, lens hood a bit bulky

Opinion: I've had this lens for a year taken for my D700, to think about the photos it takes after 25 years is truly amazing. Designed for analogue, it also manages to churn out respectable files on digital. To say that I am satisfied is an understatement. The focus is safe and effective and also has a decent brightness. It is an ideal all-purpose lens for those who want to approach the world of photography without spending a fortune.

Pros: Versatile, price and yield on D3S

Cons: The yield on D600, cumbersome remove the macro function.

Opinion: It's amazing how the same lens mounted on two different machines changes its performance so radically. On the D3S it is flawless, to always have with you!!! On the discreet D600, often left at home.. How do I make a truthful review with two such different yields? if I have to do an average, I would buy it again... It's always an old lens made Japan.
