This was a great find!
I mainly use this lens for portraiture and closeups. Pros: * The focus is very fast, which makes me cheer compared to the relatively slow 55-200mm. * The bokeh is decent, but after getting used to my f/1.8 on the 35mm prime it can be a bit underwhelming.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Nice Bokeh
- Rugged
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Heavy
- Tough To Attach

Flexibility for lighter cameras
"I purchased this for off camera flash work. It works great with a canon flash which weighs a little over a pound. The quick release tab helps reduce the hassle of setting up, and the tripod is capable of holding the flash securely.

Good performance at a great price!
I recently took the lens to our vacation in Alaska. I took over 600 pictures with this lens in a wide range of lighting and weather conditions. The lens performed admirably. Sharpness was consistently good and I experienced no problems with vignetting.

Definitely worth the extra cost vs. the kit lens
If you're going to buy the D600 or any other Nikon FX DSLR camera, purchase the body only and spend a few extra dollars to buy this lens (skip paying for the kit lens). You'll gain an extra stop+ of light overall and macro capabilities are built-in.
Pros:
- f/2.8 widest aperature
- sharp
- lightweight
- macro capabilities
Cons:
- some vignetting in the corners when used wide open
- no VR

Great all around lens.
Been using this lens for many years. All the way back to my N70 film camera. Fast lens with decent zoom. Wish it would zoom a bit more than the 85mm. I bought this over the 24-120mm since it was faster and back in the film days you needed the extra speed for lower light conditions.

Pros:

- Nice Bokeh

Nikon 24-85mm f/2.8-4D IF AF Nikkor
I got this lens because it's faster than most kit zooms, but not huge like the 24-70, it's compatible with my film body, and it has a decent 1:2 macro ability. It's capable of great shots, but it's pretty disappointing wide open.
Pros:
- Relatively fast
- solid build
- aperture ring
- excellent Macro capability
Cons:
- Very soft wide open
- no VR
- quite hefty
