I use this lens on my 35mm body as well as my digital camera (not Nikon). The fixed front element is great, especially with polarising filter. Edge to edge sharpness is great. This is my favourite lens.

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.

Clear, Crisp, Versatile and Priced Right
An avid photographer mounted on a D700, used at car shows, nature walks and just general photography, my go to lens.

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.

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

I can't say enough great things about it
This lens is everything it has been claimed to be, including HEAVY! The HEAVY, I will deal with as it also provides stability. I can't say enough great things about it, and really look forward to using it for the rest of my life.

MOST DISAPPOINTED - VERY VERY POOR
How can a ￡600 Nikon lens be sold without a lens cap to protect the lens I have been a photographer for almost 40 years and every lens and camera I have every bought has a lens cap! MOST DISAPPOINTED - VERY VERY POOR.

I Was Given This Lens With A D50
This lens is very awesome in its capabilities. Mine came with a Nikon D50 someone gave to me for free. It made the D50 a powerhouse in every type of photo I could take with it. I have no intentions of getting rid of this lens!

Nikkor AF 24-85mm f/2.8-4 D IF - Review / Test Report
The Nikkor AF 24-85mm f/2.8-4D IF is an very good standard zoom and it was the right decision by Nikon to discontinue its younger cousin (AF-S 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED) rather than this lens.
