Digital camera reviews of Nikon 24-85mm f/2.8-4.0D IF AF Zoom Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: Great lens but not long enough
Summary: 4 Stars
I returned this lens cause it was not long enough for my needs otherwise, I would have kept it. Nice and sharp, light and well priced. I ended up buying a Tamron 24-300mm. An okay lens for my needs but not as sharp as the Nikon. (It was also about $100 less with the rebate)Digital camera Review: Greatness.
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this lens on my D80 and I LOVE it. Great sharpness. The macro mode is a nice touch and an all around good time. Great all around lens. At this point, if I had to take one lens with me, this would be it.Digital camera Review: Happy to have it
Summary: 5 Stars
I use Nikon since ~30 years. Last one a F801 (film, autofocus) for over 20 years. I used digital Sony W7 and Canon Elph etc. in parallel to the film camera F801. I ordered the D80 with a Tamron 28-75 /f2.8 on Feb 2008. First evening I shot about 200 images. Bottom line, the very old&cheap Nikon 35-70 mm f3.3-5.6 was in sharpness and contrast better then the Tamron (my taste). I returned the Tamron. I wanted a lense about that focus length. I read Ken Rockwell review and bought this one in May, made over 1500 images.
The sharpness, the contrast, the versility, the handling (no "turning front part"), the weight on the D80 body is perfect to me. It is exact what I was looking for and did not find with the Tamron. I am fully satisfied with this lense.
Digital camera Review: NICE
Summary: 5 Stars
NICE LENS;I DONT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT;IT TAKES A WHILE TO GET USED TO INTERNAL FOCUS IN MACRO MODE ALSO, BUT IT DOES THE JOB FINE;I NEVER GO WRONG WITH NIKON(SO WHAT ELSE IS NEW) KEEP YOUR CANONS, IM A NIKONIAN FOR LIFE,LOL....PS-AMAZONS PRICE WAS 200- LESS THAN I COULD GET WITH A RITZ DISCOUNT!!! HMMMPH!!Digital camera Review: This Lens Performs As Anticipated
Summary: 5 Stars
This lens received mixed revews everywhere I checked. Having used Nikon products for the past 37 years, and owning three Nikon lenses for my D80, I ordered it. Beach Camera's service was excellent and the lens arrived in factory fresh condition. In the past month I have used this lens shooting several indoor events, both available light and with my SB-600, with excellent results. Its performance as a Macro lens is also outstanding. For those of you who want to take this lens to a lab to find fault, have at it! It works for me!
