Pros: Total and absolute quality. Sharpness, colors, focus, lightness.

Cons: Nothing makes you report.

Opinion: Simply an exceptional lens . Out of fashion, outdated? Not at all. With little money you can buy a high-level optics that has nothing to envy to the current ones. It is also light and easy to handle, which is now rare, unless you use horrendous and junk plastics. It is definitely worth having it in your kit.

Pros: Af-D works on all my analog and D bodies, light, compact, fast and precise (of course there's better), plastic but durable, good overall yield

Cons: a little washed out and with little contrast of its own in the final surrender compared to other my goals, but I do not know if it is a counter to 28mm and TA has a slight glossy/dreamlike effect but it can be interesting

Opinion: was my first purchase, I had to choose a zoom quickly because the 60 micro on the d200 was too long and I was undecided, between him and the 28-105, read the opinions here on juza and those of kenR , I threw myself on this that I paid at the end 40 degrees, on the d200 was a little long and slowly I joined it with the 19-35 , but on film or D610 is a real all-rounder the mount and not the deadlift anymore, in fact not to use it usually I start already with another goal, as it is said in these cases does not excel in anything but is good for everything, it is not a macro but focuses very close, it is not a blade but nn knead, I do not have the lampshade , but it has a resistance to flares commendable the maximum gives it with two stop closing from TA but it is discreet even TA as long as it is not at the shorter focals generates a glossy effect that is not always said to have. the thing I noticed compared to the 70-210 and the 60 micro is the less "saturation" of colors and a lower contrast, if you do not like anything unsolvable with settings in the room or in PP. on the d610 it was necessary to make the fine AF adjustment, on the d200 no, fortunately since nn exists :-D

Pros: Compact, light, no ghost and a few flares, little distortion at 28mm, minimum distance of maf reduced, excellent color yield, deriful price (for what it offers is given if you pay 100E, excellent sharpness on the whole frame closing by 1 stop (on Nikon D850 from 47 Mp!), a ta is quite sharp in the center and gradually decays to the edges (great for portraits)

Cons: THEY DON'T DO IT ANYMORE!... The lens rotates during the maf (uncomfortable for circular polarizer).

Opinion: If Nikon had simply updated this optics with a real aspheric lens (no hybrid - plastic glued to glass) and a few extra seals, you could have saved virtually every other zoom in this range of focals, maybe making an f2.8 only for those who just can't do without it (and they are few, compared to those who buy the 24-70 f2.8). I haven't been good with this zoom, taken used at 90E. I mounted it on the D850. He made me chapeau. It weighs 1/3 of the 24-70 f2.8 g and in my possession. And the yield is really beautiful. Moral: I'm going to sell the 24-70 f2.8. I do not make much of 1 stop less and 4mm less than the f2.8 (with Nikon D850 and Nikon D5 if shot at 12800 ISO and mold 20x30 is equal that if I had shot at 6400 ISO), while I am very pleased with the other qualities of this small wonder (made color, compactness, lightness). I'm only concerned about the tightness of the hybrid aspheric lens (glue between plastic and glass). Edit: Recently used "for challenge" for studio photos, with a really good rendering. The photos were perfect as outputs: crisp, consistent color yield, soft, progressive tonal passages. I can only reiterate the goodness of this lens.

Pros: cheap, discreetly sharp

Cons: vignette, not particularly bright

Opinion: bought this morning, I took some test shots, and I must say that I did not expect such a yield from a 60 euro optics. it is not particularly bright, but the sharpness is discreet, the price, I repeat, content, and anyway until I can take a 2.8 I will try to settle. the only flaw is the lack of the lightroom profile, resulting in vignettes that are difficult to correct in full

Pros: Size, Weight, Price, Construction, Chromatic Yield, Flare Hold, Sharpness, Starry, Precision AF

Cons: Given the price ... I would say none

Opinion: I was looking for a handyman for my d700, I would have preferred to have a fixed f2.8 but both for a matter of cost and for a matter of clutter and weight I opted on this lens and it was a surprise, better than I expected! Specifically at TA it is already very sharp in the center with a bit of a coma at the corners (especially at 28mm, where it is softer and is noticeable barrel distortion) but just close by a stop and the lens shows a surprising sharpness all over the frame , in general the yield is fairly uniform at the same opening diaphragm over the entire focal excursion, good colors, contrast, excellent seal ingess compared to aberrations and flares, excellent starry 18-pointed (very defined on any excursion), construction definitely good (it seems assembled better than other af-d lenses like the 50 1.4D), focus not very fast but decidedly precise (a bit noisy but so are other lenses of the same series), ultimately as much as it definitely costs to have to kit.

Pros: Light Robust and functional

Cons: A little plasticous

Opinion: A very balanced handyman optics, used on my analogue SLR (Nikon F80) performs well at all focal lengths without excelling, it is a great all make light and comfortable to carry around for trips (it is not so bright but this is good because it is small and light). On Digital does its job, I use it on my d300s for reportage and contextualized portraits and it's not bad, it has a good yield and closing from F 5.6 onwards is crisp. Excellent construction of the very robust zoom nuts that blocks the lens and does not allow involuntary hikes. To the feel from the plastic feel but in the end it is quite sturdy.

Pros: Portability, lightness, compactness

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: I possess many lenses, but this 28 70 has accompanied me in many adventures. Excellent in all conditions. Maybe when there is little light it would be preferable to have a f2.8 but I prefer this lens because it never misses the focus. The lenses with larger openings need a complicated focusing system, while with this 28 70 I can also focus manually, using it on mirrorless systems. With the cost to which it is today, under the 100 euro specimens in good condition, it is spectacular. If you find it around I would highly recommend it.

Pros: PORTABILITY, sharpness, construction, price, use with built-in flash

Cons: I would have preferred a 24mm

Opinion: Funnel of the Huge Nikkor 24-70 2.8 I bought in very good condition at € 40 this small lens for light outputs. I have to say that's just what I was looking for ... something portable, with a good excursion and excellent picture quality. Good construction, AF not integrated yet reliable even in the dark where you can use the built-in flash without having the unpleasant shadow. What to say highly recommended!

Pros: Great color rendering (equal to my 24-85 vr) resistant to flare and ghosts. Sharpness, small size and weight.

Cons: For me nobody.

Opinion: I have rediscovered this (anonymous and small lens) from the time I shot with film, wonderful, light and yet robust; Overtakes the 24-85 vr, which in my opinion always remains a bit soft, even though it is in manual with the same parameters as the old lens. Mounted on the nikon d750 has a great yield, superior to kit 24.85, as already mentioned, so much to hinder me to sell it. The chromatic yield is similar if not identical and the lack of superfluous vr. In my opinion, a great travel goal, not in the eye, and guarantees great shots. Highly recommended, even because it can be found just over one hundred euros.

Pros: Great color rendering, lightweight, cost-effective use.

Cons: nobody

Opinion: With the transition to the FX system I needed a "trip" lens that would allow a wide-angle excursion to the small tele. Considering that I have seen photos taken by Juzaphoto users, my choice has fallen on this lens after having Looked at nearby focals. I spent 140 euros and I think I've done a great deal. I think that compared to the more lucrative optics it performs terribly. I think that the photos taken will hardly get rid of it from my D750.

Pros: No to the flare and ghost, sharpness, compact, rugged, lightweight, today Value unparalleled ...

Cons: Nikon old project, no vr ...

Opinion: Fabulous ... From the first shots has proved its forza.Anche think is unsurpassed in black and white, sharp, contrasted, faithful colors, sharp as I never expected (on occasion hard to believe that it is a zoom given the similarity in yield to my fixed) .I have decided to look for him after reading many excellent reviews on the web: http: //www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/287035af.htm .......http://www.photozone.de/Reviews/240-nikkor-af-28-70mm-f35-45d-review--test-report...http://mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/nikon/nikkoresources/AFNikkor/AF2870mm/index.htm and many new altre.Trovato at a bargain price, I'm enjoying it. A great discovery this dinosaur, which already promises to be irreplaceable companion avventure.Consigliatissimo for those with few euro does not want to sacrifice quality and functionality, and then for what it represents (From a height of 20 years), my vote is 10

Pros: low distortion, resistance against the light, sharpness af 5.6- f11, compact, rugged, lightweight, color fidelity, quality / price ratio

Cons: "Haze" at the widest apertures

Opinion: Personally gave me great satisfaction on film (especially b / n) .rnOttimi results also digitally despite being a old design. On D90 (already, ..purtroppo you lose the wide angle side) is clear (slight sharpening) both long and short to medium distances. It is not too contrasty. For the colors and tonal passages prefer it to the new zoom. Excellent resistance to flare and ghost.rnCostruttivamente simple, designed for general photography, does not have the specificity of professional goals (.. the price has 0 instead some less) and will not be the lens from blurred spectacular (but already af 5.6 and the right distances much can be done). rnCredo they are just to avoid the widest apertures. With little light better raise the ISO: holds better than more famous lenses (with the same sensor) ... but it is more of my impression. rnrn

Pros: Beautiful blurred (9lame), good resistance to flare and fights well the AC. Price flea. Weight | size. Lentuccio and noisy.

Cons: Up to f5.6 it is too soft.

Opinion: It's cheap and it's convenient to carry around. It 'a bit' noisy when focheggia and the front lens rotates with the motor, so you have to have the right precautions when using a CPL filter. It is not far enough at room temperature (3.5 to 4.5), but f5.6 unfolds decisively, and f8 onwards becomes a bomb, etched with lines and shapes and pasty (typical of Nikon D) and colors scream, vivid and warm. It can be used safely in the backlight: fears nothing. Some ghost (typical D) and a slowness that sometimes can make you lose a few shots. The bokeh character reminiscent of the first lens series brighter Q: chopped ice effect, very pleasant and relaxing. To go on the road (photo report) without worries for expensive photographic equipment and delicate, it is definitely ideal. The full size tends to saturate most of the colors and forms to knead. I do not think rivolva well on very dense sensors (over 16MP of APSC).
