Very Sharp Lens
This lens is very sharp. Especially stopped down to F8. The VR allows for handheld shots down to 1/3 shutter speed. I've even got a few sharp images at 1/2 second. Distortion is easily corrected in photoshop when shooting at 24mm. Despite not having a very wide aperture, it's a nice walking around lens that delivers sharp photos at a fraction of the price. The VR helps with low light situations and at night with a tripod stopped down to f8 delivers beautiful contrast pictures.

Priced Like A Kit Lens But Tuff Like A Legacy Lens
Nikon - AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR Standard Zoom Lens - Black This is an amazing lens for a full frame Nikon. I was looking for a general 'walk around lens' for my Nikon Df and was disappointed with the photo quality from Sigma and Tamron. Nikon had a couple offerings and this seemed to fit my needs. I have had this lens for almost two month and have shot close to two thousand images thru it and am completely happy. The auto focus is super fast and exposure is spot on. I have only one issue and it is a minor one. This lens is not as fast as I would like thus the depth of field is not as shallow but like I said this is a walking around lens that I keep on at all time. If I am wanting shallow depth of field I can plan on using a faster prime lens.

Great lense for great camera
This lens was part the D800E package that I bought and couldn't be happier. Can't wait to get additional lenses.

Great lens at a low cost
Needed a versatile mid range lens that zooms so I would not have to change lenses for every day use. It is a great go to lens that will capture excellent photos. It is made for the "FX" format, but works perfectly with "DX" as well. I own a DX camera, but hope to upgrade to an FX camera and wanted a lens that would work for both.

GOOD LENS FX OR DX
I NEEDED ANOTHER ZOOM FOR MY SECOND AND OLDER CAMERA, THE D7100. I ALREADY HAD THE NIKON 24-120 F4, ON D7200, BUT DIDN'T WANT TO SPEND THAT MUCH MONEY AGAIN. SO I TOOK A GAMBLE WITH THIS LENS, AND YOU KNOW WHAT, ITS REALLY PRETTY GOOD. IT'S MUCH LIGHTER THAN THE 24-120MM, WHICH IS NICE AND FROM WHAT I CAN SEE ITS SHARP IN CENTER FRAME, ESPECIALLY STOPPING DOWN TO F8. CORNERS SEEM SHARP ON THE LENS I GOT..BUT THAT COULD VARY FROM LENS TO LENS
