Pros: Dimensions and weight

Cons: Inconsistent sharpness

Opinion: I bought this lens for the outings without knowing what I was going to photograph, small and light. Actually, apart from the focal length 85 which is sharp, all the other focal lengths are not very sharp and then from the center to the edges it worsens significantly. I would add that it seems to have a shallow depth of field in relation to the focal length. Very beautiful landscapes ruined by this lens. I don't recommend it for landscape.

Pros: Small and full frame

Cons: Everything else

Opinion: There is a lot of talk about Nikon's 35mm/full frame medium zooms, there are vague videos, articles, sites, reviews etc. to understand the differences between the 3 existing versions: the old 2.8-4 IF I wrote about, the photo version above (given in kit for many models) and the latest version with VR that you recognize because it has 72mm filters and not 67mm. I read everything about these 3 lenses and used them together and tested them for a long time both on fullframe and aps-c (dx). Leaving aside the technical speeches you find around, I will come only to the hard, the only real usable lens is the 2.8-4 IF, the other 2 I found simply useless. Of course if you don't even have a lens it will help you to make generic photos but other than that you do little. The photo version above was the one I sold before, it has no quality in particular apart from the size and weight contained. Personal opinion: if taken under 150euro and used on DX (aps-c) you will be amazed by the photos you will take home!

Pros: A standard zoom honest. It is the Nikon 24-70 f/2.8 but according to all the tests that I remember seeing is very close in quality to other f/2.8 (even a bit 'better according to many), better than f/2.8-4 still for sale. Price (today is about 220-250 used) and especially weight (415gr, less than 18-105VR which is DX!), Size (like 18-55!) And versatility.

Cons: Its major shortcoming is the construction very "plasticky", mine is currently "under review" because, after a summer of abuse, accused of jamming rotating the zoom ring.

Opinion: It would replace only with a stabilized lens, the new model or the Tamron VC, but are priced at double and triple (used). I gave 8 because, considering the price (today is about 220-250 used) and especially weight, size and versatility, you can not compromise on its quality excellent. This makes it worthy of judgment EXCELLENT.
