Pros:Stabilized (though not the best stabilizer ever), very versatile, most reasonable second-hand price
Cons:It suffers dense sensors, general sharpness not at the top, vignetting, price of the new very high, suffers a little the backlight
Opinion:A lens with which you can really take home a huge variety of shots but it must be known and know how to use at best, I explain : you have to know the yield of the combinations between focal length / opening because at some of these combinations the lens becomes really very soft as it can give its best to others. I really found a lot of consistency with the analyses made by DxO regarding the best focal length/aperture combinations and lens sharpening so in this case DxO can really be reference. That said, in some situations it suffers very dense sensors by not being able to solve them at its best and in general it is a lens that does not make incisiveness its strong point but, at such a versatile lens you can forgive it, especially if you push a little more on sharpening in pp. The Af has never given me any particular problems. The vignetting is quite marked so much that it has to "stain" in the corners in Ps (very evident especially in the landscape on the blue of the sky) especially at 24mm. The stabilizer does its but on machines like the D810 it must still be used once widely safely otherwise you suffer anyway. The colors are quite beautiful and natural. Overall it's a great thing to do when compared to alternatives (even third-party ones) that have far worse issues to deal with. Having said that the overall yield is quite good and if used with due care it is a really good workhorse, I do not know if I would change it with something else in this range, maybe only with the 24-85 f/3.5-4.5 G ED VR but which lacks the Nano Crystal Coat. Today's second-hand price definitely makes it the winner of the category! Rating : 8.9
Pros:A fascinating optics " praise of practical reason " does everything and does it well, F constant and diaphragm with 9 slats and also sharp !!!
Cons:Slight distortion at 24 mm .. Just
Opinion:Taken Together with the D750, I have now switched to the D780 but I kept it, compact and heavy at the right point, crisp enough.. let's not forget that it is a 24-120 FF and with a little attention always makes beautiful photos, tried even in the non-professional sports field really gives nice satisfactions. Unfortunately once hooked it is difficult to take it off, because on the fly and without thinking too much it is always ready with the right focal point, it does not work miracles but the MYTHICAL sharpness that we usually look for is there without exaggerating however the difference with fixed optics, certainly superior, lies in capturing the fleeting moment that will not return and the 24-120 carpisce and it also does well . A NICE 10 absolutely
Opinion:I have been using it for three years now, purchased in kit with the Nikon D750, it has proved to be a winning choice. Comfortable, very versatile, light, as many say you end up keeping it always mounted on. The only real weakness and incision, not too marked, but if one does not seek hyper-sharpness is not a problem. I do not consider vignetting, distortion and aberration to be weak points: all of them are really minimal, and they are solved automatically with two clicks in Camera Raw or Capture NX-D, once the lens profile is set in the program. Especially now, value for money has reached an important level.
Opinion:Great all-rounder, very useful for trips or out-of-town trips. Thanks to the 9 slats it gives pleasant smudges, too bad for that 24mm vignette, solvable anyway in pp. For something specific I use the fixed, but for photos "generalist" does its duty. I often go out with this lens and with 20mm and as far as I'm concerned I'm covered for 95% of situations. Vote 9
Pros:True all-rounder, value for money (used), decent performance, good stabilization
Cons:Nothing really relevant given the current price
Opinion:An optical very often denigrated but in my opinion it does its duty when used for the purpose for which it was designed, that is, a handyman that goes from wide angle to mid-range. I'm a Sunday photo amateur, but I still have good eyes. I've often used it with D750 on the go and it has never disappointed me: af valid, effective stabilization and very versatile focal excursion, sharpness more than enough for any purpose. If you are interested in absolute performance in terms of MTF etc. it's not the optics for you, but if you don't ask you to do what you can't do, that is, behaving like a fixed or a triple-cost optics, it will definitely make you take home good shots. I don't talk about vignette and distortion, I'm there, but they work out quickly with a couple of clicks. Maybe it could show the side on very dense sensors type D810 or D850, but on the 24mps of the D750 it goes well. For the moment it is irreplaceable for me, when I can not carry other lenses with me I use only this. I don't feel the need to pass 24-70 f2.8, the 24-120 you choose it for versatility. If I need quality or fun I use the fixtures. Recommended.
