Q: Simply put is it a full frame lens? Is it a good choice for the d750? Is it autofocus?

A: The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR Standard Zoom Lens is optimized for Full Frame cameras and does have Auto-Focus capabilities.

Q: Does this fit a D610? I don't see that listed under the compatible models so I want to make sure.

A: Yes, the AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR Lens will work on the Nikon D610 Digital SLR Camera.

Q: Is this a true 24 mm field of view? Do photos represent 24 mm?

A: The AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm lens, when used on a camera that has a full frame sensor, is 24mm. When used on a cropped sensor, it would be 38mm. Nikon denotes a full frame sensor as an FX-type body and the cropped sensor, as a DX-type body.

Q: Is this a good walk around every day lens? Full Frame lenses are very expensive and this might be the only one that I can afford; unless I go to the Canon 7D M11 APS-C sensor.

A: This is an excellent all around lens, 24mm is a substantial wide angle and 85mm zooms enough for portraits and other shots. It’s not too fast at 85mm, but for outdoors it’s great.
