Pros: Versatile and lightweight

Cons: Full-aperture vignetting

Opinion: Bought used in Japan, to combine it with a disused D700, I'm having a lot of fun. I have some doubts about the performance of my sample: if at TA it is in line with the other examples, as it shows chromatic aberration, but maybe it's just my habit with the fixed ones. Advice is accepted for trials. The macro function is a plus when you are out and about, after realizing that to deactivate it you need to have focused

Pros: None, my bought new early 2000s was defective.

Cons: He suffers from misalignment of a rear lens group.

Opinion: Purchased new as a base lens together with an F90x, it immediately gave problems of poor sharpness, worsened in a short time to even show a circularly marked lens inside. Sent to Nital for assistance, they repaired it in their laboratory in Germany but it was never again a high-performance optic. Too bad because it was pleasant to use and the focal range perfect. Obscene lens hood! Curious to try it again now with digital, who knows, in case I'll update the review.

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.
