Pros: General robustness (except the zoom ring), acceptable sharpness on sensors <= 16Mpix. Used market price.
Cons: Heterogeneous quality depending on the focal lengths.
Opinion: This is a patriarch that I acquired the year it was released. I worked with this object for years in events. Probably the weakest of the 14-24 / 24-70 / 70-200 triptych. With the progress of optics, our requirements push us to depreciate it in favor of modern lenses... however at the second-hand price <500€, it remains a good deal for the non-professional who needs a large aperture .
That said, I ended up selling it. The reason is that as my experience progressed, I criticized it more and more for the distortions on the edges at 24mm (as well as the terrible chromatic aberrations at this focal length), also its lack of sharpness at 70mm. I ended up favoring the much better 35-50mm focal range. Finally, on D750 (24Mpix), I did not consider it to be up to modern competitors.
In my opinion, it all depends on the price you get it for on the second-hand market...
Pros: Velocidad de AF, definición desde f/2,8, colores,construción, rango focal......
Cons: Precio nuevo
Opinion: Comprado nuevo en 2007, sigue funcionando como el primer día, bodas, deportes, paisaje......
Hay gente que se queja de falta de nitidez en las esquinas,yo no tengo ninguna queja, para mi rinde perfectamente en cámaras como la Nikon D3s, D800...., después de 14 años trabajando con el, sigue funcionando perfectamente,al precio que esta hoy de segunda mano es una autentica ganga.

Cons:Supposed internal delicacy, high weight, large footprint
Opinion:A great lens that can potentially do everything for you, except indoor or night photos - being an f2.8, it takes at least one stop more full of light not to have to go up to 1/50 or worse with disastrous results. During the day I use it for everything - 24 is a nice wide angle and 70 is a nice length for tight or particular portraits. The fact that it retains the 2.8 (i.e., what makes it so expensive) makes it a really useful Swiss knife. I point out one thing: my lens (used) must have taken a big hit while it was all open at 24 (so everything stretched). Not wanting to change it, I make it work like this, and it's a possible thing, I just have to "accompany" the lengthening of the lens body with my hand. However, I urge caution in handling it – it may not be as sturdy as it wants to make it seem. I gave it 8, since it is still a really fantastic companion for any outing (if you don't mind the weight, considerable alas).
Pros:A "real" lens with a respectable aperture and which returns sharp photos even at the edges already at 2.8
Cons:The weight... perhaps I use it with an adapter si Z6 ii and the burden of some criticism regarding the alleged delicacy of the internal structure
Opinion:I bought this used lens like new one to enrich my kit which initially consisted of only the 24/200 purchased with the Z6. I rediscovered the pleasure of my previous important Canon lenses that I had before the transition to Nikon. Certainly a prestigious objective, which although dated returns files of irreproachable quity. Bob is stabilized, but with modern sensors you can still shoot even with rather slow shutter speeds, in my case I will use it mainly for landscapes on the tripod and therefore in my case the problem does not arise. Regarding the alleged delicacy... we'll see, I usually treat my things with care but without paranoia, and I feel confident
Cons:Weight, too contrasty, embarrassing huge lens hood
Opinion:The optics that I would not recommend to an amateur as a jack of all trades. It has a rendering with too much contrast and closed shadows, although the sharpness and colors are of a very good level. For this reason I see it more suitable for a professional who can take advantage of the formidable qualities of construction, AF, blur and sharpness, since he will still be forced to work in PP with his own workflow, while, for an amateur, having to work too much files I see as a con. There are much easier and "JPEG ready" lenses such as the old 28-105 AFD or the less performing 24-85 VR. I was not convinced by the rendering on landscapes while I really liked the rendering in interior portraits. If you don't work with it, I recommend playing with lighter and easier stuff and with fixed ones. The lens hood is embarrassing, strictly speaking: it causes an embarrassment in showing it to the world for how big and clumsy it is.
