Surprisingly Great Lens
24 Dec 2005
This lens is probably the best lens I own. It focuses fast and it is very sharp.
Even professional photographers say that it is one of the best lenses and reasonably priced.

After reading all the reviews I could find, I decided this lens had to be worth a serious look. I bought it and have been happy with it from day one.

Veteran Photo Who Loves This Lens
24 Dec 2006
I, like the the previous reviewer, also read Ken Rockwell's comments, and they led me to this lens.
No disappointments here. I'm a 30-year veteran who was just seeking a basic lens to keep on my Nikon D70. I also use the Tokina 12-24 f/4.0 (fantastic) and the Nikon 50mm f/1.8 (don't sell this little guy short!), and now seek a longer tele-zoom to complement these other lenses.
The Nikon 24-85mm is sharp, fast and light. Not the most sturdily-built lens in the world, but the key for me was that I knew what I was getting when I purchased it - and therefore, no disappointment.
Looking for an all-purpose lens to keep on your camera body at all times? You've found it here.

Awesome
17 Jun 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase
I own a beleaguerded Kodak 14n SLR. Besides tack-sharp, bone tingling, full frame 14 megapixels perfect images at 80 ASA, it has so many quirks and peculiarities, it pretty much singlehandedly made Kodak abandon making professional SLRs. But this lens solved two problems; red blob went away, and so did Italian flag (K-pro owners will know what I'm talking about). And on other Nikon cameras it's just great, sharp lens, although not enough of wide angle on APS-sized-frame Nikons (24mm becomes 36mm) - but on the other hand 85mm becomes almost 130mm, totally awesome for portraits. Too bad it's discontinued, or so I heard.
