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!

I bought this lens specifically for a "space-limited" extended trip I went on. A few times I wished it had a little longer upper end, but overall it did what it was supposed to. It has a good wide-angle for scenics, and the short telephoto worked well for people shots.
Pros:
- nice zoom range for everyday lens
- fast enough to be useful
- closeup mode (macro

Nikon 24-85D F2.8-4.0 lens
This is probably the most underated lens in the Nikon range. In terms of focus it is far superior to the 24-120 and it produces pin sharp images from edge to edge. It is also fast, offers a good macro facilty, and is portable.

Quite the best Nikon lens in this range, I have used and at that price an absolute steal. I have a very sharp copy with no front or rear focussing issues and sharp at the 24mm (f2.8) end though slightly less so at the 85mm end. Very well built and nicely balanced on my D80.
Pros:
- F2.8 is effective
- great for portraits
- no silent wave focussing but no slouch either
- Can be used confidently in a whole host of situations especially relatively low light despite not having VR
Cons:
- I believe there is some inconsistency in the quality from lens to lens
- Not really a true landscape lens on a cropped sensor camera

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
