Pros:Decent all-rounder, price if bought nital out of the kit
Cons:Collapse from 70mm
Opinion:Love and hate (especially hate) for this lens. It is neither meat nor fish, in simple terms it is a "discreet" all-rounder that does not excel in anything. It is a perspective that does not make you make the leap in quality. I bought it the first time with European guarantee and resold after a very short time practically new losing 69 euros. It was really like new, used a few times. It is comfortable because it covers many focal lengths and has the stabilizer but the feeling has not blossomed. And so I took in its place the 24-70 that on the contrary makes you make the leap in quality. But since I like to err and so much in January 2023 thanks to the nital cash discount sold separately from the camera body I bought it back at 690 aware of all its limits. So when I have to take pictures of little importance I will carry around this one that covers more focal lengths and that on the back and neck weighs less than the 24-70 and 70-300 that I add to have more bands covered. Rating: 7-/7
Pros:It covers the range of focal lengths most used, with a quality and brightness almost at the top. Ideal travel companion
Cons:The list price is exaggerated
Opinion:It is the real Nikon workhorse for the Fx format. I used it on the df, on the d800 and, for a couple of months, on the d850. Fully satisfied, but aware of its limitations. If necessary, for more specific needs, I replace it with an ultra-bright or macro fixed. As for the price, you will find new extract from kits around € 600, or used. Thanks to its detractors. Absolutely recommended.
Pros:For the type of lens, despite the focal range, excellent in almost everything
Cons:Distortions, vignetting
Opinion:I have owned it for two years now, it has been a reliable travel companion, it still is. If known well this lens takes you home great shots. At 120mm the image is rather soft especially at TA, obvious vignetting, at 24 in addition to vignetting there is a little distortion, just stop at 100 and it's fine, at 24 just get to 35 already it's better. This lens takes home the photo of the moment without even too much work in post. It is an F4 on all focal lengths, although you have to diaphragm while using the zoom to have a greater depth of field and maintain sharpness. Lenses with this focal range may have this problem.
Pros:Very valid for general use, it prefers portraits and generally photos with separation of the planes to the landscapes and architecture, excellent blur, good colors, well-corrected aberrations, lens built to make pleasant photos.
Cons:Hard and not very fluid zoom, sharpness collapse and 70 and 90mm.
Opinion:Very short answer: up to 24Mpx with AA filter of the D750 goes from discreet to very good while on the 36Mpx without AA of the d810 fatigue at the level of resolution, so in reading the reviews keep this in mind. I use it on d750 and therefore my review is based on 24Mpx, not very much to tell the truth as I have a set of fixed 1.4 that I prefer more than anything else for philosophy, but when I do it rarely disappoints me and I wonder why I do not use it more often. Resolution more than valid already from the entire aperture up to about 70mm, beyond which it has a very important collapse (confirmed by online instrumental tests) and then recover well from 90mm upwards. Chromatic aberrations always well corrected for clean images (just a little at the edges at 24mm, solvable in post). So even if sometimes the images can be a soft hair, they are always pleasant as they are free from aberrations (and for this reason sharpening is particularly effective). Bright colors, the blurred is so beautiful in all its phases and at all the apertures that in most situations it does not fear comparisons with the fixed in terms of quality (very close to the creamy 85mm 1.4G and 180mm D, far better than the 50mm 1.8G). I consider him in general a surprising all-rounder for general use, portraits, flowers and all those situations in which you want to isolate the subject (yes, even at f4 you can do it well) while in the landscape push sometimes it seemed not very incisive. That cartoon and distorts a lot is known but in 2021 it is a lesser evil. Construction very well done except for the zoom mechanism, too hard and really not very fluid, in addition to the ridiculous focus ring that looks like that of the 18-105. Ultimately, a lens made not to split the instrumental tests but to make beautiful photos, and with the exception of the range between 70 and 90mm succeeds very well.
Opinion:Purchased used. Used for what it is, it's great. On the D850 he holds the pace of the fixeds that are "next to him in the bag" (28 1.4 E, 50 1.4 G, 85 1.4 G) as regards sharpness, at the right apertures, for the rest the fixed are .... fixed bright .... It does its job beautifully when it has to and can do it, just mount it when you don't want/can use the fixeds, even if it requires a little more attention in the PP. It turns the D850 into "compact" ..... so to speak! Then it is an f 4 on all focal lengths, and it does not hurt. I'm very happy, highly recommended!
