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.

Veteran Photo Who Loves This Lens 2006-12-24

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.

Surprisingly Great Lens 2005-12-24

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.
