Comments about Nikon Nikon 24-85mm f/2.8-4 IF AF-D Nikkor Wide - Telephoto Zoom Lens with Hood - USA:

My old workhorse lens was the 28-105, and when that was discontinued, I switched to this one; I'm not disappointed. I used to use it on my D2x, and now it's my primary lens on my D3. I perform a great deal of photo-documentation in my work, and having some basic wide angle capabilities is great, along with the moderate zoom. And while many of my colleagues are busy switching to the 60mm macro lens, I'm already getting the shots! My photos come out pretty crisp and clear. In many low-light situations, though, I opt for a tripod.

Over the last five years, I've probably taken tens of thousands of photos with this lens. So far, the maintenance costs have been low. This is a worthwhile lens to have in your collection.

Least liked in my bag but it has its uses. Silly lock which must be unlocked to go to macro mode???? What were they thinking. Good construction but does not focus easy. Will use when necessary but this lens is overpriced

I've used the lens in all sorts of conditions and it has stood up well. My only complaint is that the hood does not fit firmly. I eventually lost mine.
