Very good lens. 2008-05-14
I use this lens on my D80 and its a great lens and has great color. This and my 18-200vr are my walk around lens. When photographing not needing the longer distance this is my choice over the 18-200vr.Its a full frame lens that is a perfect fit on a DX camera. Very sharp!
Excellent performance/cost ratio 2007-12-31
I purchased this lens because I wanted the best performing glass I could get within my budget; I also needed a bit more range and IQ than the 18-55mm kit lens I got with my Nikon D80.

After reading many favorable reviews of the Nikon 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED-IF AutoFocus Zoom Nikkor Lens, I decided to give it a try and could not be happier with it's performance, indeed I am pleasantly surprised with it's image quality every time I use it.

It has been called "pro-quality glass that Nikon mistakenly put in a plastic body" but I find it feels as solid as most kit lenses today.

It is just the right size for a walk-about lens not big yet balances well on cameras like the D80; the auto-focus is fast and silent. Between the focal lengths of 35-60mm its as sharp as many prime lenses.

The only issue I have notice with this lens is some purple fringing on very high contrast subjects areas, but considering the otherwise excellent performance/cost ratio I can work around that minor problem.

I would recommend a good quality uv/hase filter such as the B & W 67mm UV (Ultra Violet) Haze Multi Coated (2C) Glass Filter #010 or Hoya 67mm DMC PRO1 Digital Multi-Coated UV (Ultra Violet) Filter. to protect the front element, as it is quite large and close to the front end of the lens even with the supplied hood attached.

BTW, if you are thinking of upgrading to a full frame (FX) format digital camera in the future this lens will also work on that body or with most newer Nikon 35mm slr's for that matter.
Teds Review 2007-07-13
The Lens is as one would expect from Nikon I would say that it would be hard to find a product that is similar to the the one being reviewed that could compare.
Awesome 2007-06-17
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.
Nikon 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED-IF AF Zoom Nikkor Lens 2007-01-09
Very pleased that I received exactly what I ordered with full warranty, not a Gray market item. The lens is a great compliment to my Nikon SLR; focus is quick, quiet and sharp. Highly recommend. Price was great.
