Pros:Lightweight, affordable cost, precise and silent autofocus
Cons:Not as sharp as a fixed lens, maximum aperture not great
Opinion:I exhume these reviews to express a substantially positive opinion on this perspective. I would say that the performance is good, I need it when I do not need quality at the top but still more than decent as this lens provides. Plus it's stabilized, so it should save me when I can't raise the ISO above 400/800 and the shutter speeds get a little longer. It is a lens that on a REFLEX with a resolution higher than 15-16 Mpixels has some limitations, but it is still a non-pro zoom, so you can not expect who knows what performance, although I do not dare to complain at all. Found used in excellent condition at a price I would say good, even if the hood was missing.
Opinion:Very interesting lens I used it for a review and kept it for a year. In my hand it looks like a feather I carried apple tree with me when I went out with the 200-500mm and in case I wanted to do some landscape or portrait I used it despite obviously not a 2.8 but to travel lighter apple I carried. It has a superb sharpness and is difficult to match in zooms of this type. I noticed that a lot of dust enters inside, this lens would have really needed tropicalization. I had to replace the hood because it was ridiculous too small like not having it on. Being a light and small lens the Stabilizer worked wonders, I managed to shoot without a tripod up to 1/6s. I absolutely recommend it for those who want to travel light and still fill the Classic focal range.
Pros:good sharpness, size, smooth ring, construction in general, pasty yield
Cons:filters of 72, lampshed a little too light..
Opinion:it is a lens that I use on nikon d700 and rhymes the range of "classic" focals from panoramas to portraits. it's basically an f.4 so quite bright. It has the rendering of the g series and very beautiful colors. The construction is professional with the metal barrel and a zoom ring with bows. at f 5.6 is great. Also better than the 24 120 especially at 85 mm in which it makes excellent if you have to make a portrait on the fly. It also seems to me a hair better than the 16-85 for apsc which still has a superb overall sharpness and hardly equals in zooms. It mounts filters from 72 but I just found an Amazon discount for an nd16 filter at 22 euros so I fixed :) recommended and small in size.
Pros:Sharpness, color rendering, distortion control, flare resistance, lightness, small footprint, well-exploitable focal excursion on FF, excellent zoom ring rotation, second-hand price, good construction.
Cons:Bulky light, slightly less sharp than a fixed, but it is logical that this is the case, and then the differences are minimal.
Opinion:Purchased used on Rebuy, I use it on the D610, and I am satisfied. I used a couple of fixes, but I don't regret that; it is the first time that a zoom satisfies me like a fixed, taking into account the comfort and versatility of the former against the optical superiority of the second. Avoiding replacing the lens is a great advantage.
Pros:Definitely the weight, good sharpness, compactness and price
Cons:the fluidity of zoom motion
Opinion:After many years spent searching for a definitive zoom.. Light... (light attention as light and compact with the necessary compromises) in fact I also have the tamron 24-70 G2, and used several 24-120Vr , I arrived at this compact 24-85 Vr by chance, purchased used, in conjunction with the purchase of the D780. Surprise!! Sharp ..., at 70 and 85 significantly higher than 24-120Vr, surprising the absence of the flare in the backlight. But at 24mm I was positively impressed in the face of other reviews, crisp almost to the edges, a reduced distortion compared to the older brother 24-120vr, and a higher resolution in the center. At 50 mm it hardly makes you regret having a fixed, but what a nice comparison... maybe I was lucky. And then light lightweight, a perfect superlight pairing with the 70-300 AF-P for fx format is worth as much. The plastic lampshed, although seey, personally does not bother me that much. Really to recommend
