NIKON AF-S NIKKOR 24-85 mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR so good I bought it twice!!
I had owned one of these lenses for about 6 years when I decided to upgrade to the heavier and supposedly better 24 - 70 lens. I took delivery of the 24 -70 and sold my old 24 - 85 lens. I have to say I was pretty disappointed so had to have a replacement, (hence this review). The 24 -70 delivers fantastic results but it is heavy and bulky, whereas the 24 - 85 is light and compact with slightly better reach.
Anyway, on to my review of this lens, the NIKON AF-S NIKKOR 24-85 mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR. This lens is compact, light and has a good zoom range. This is a good all-round lens, not the fastest but certainly adequate to meet the demands of all but the most demanding professional photographer. I will be keeping the 24 - 70 lens but the NIKON AF-S NIKKOR 24-85 mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR will always be my lens of choice for general photography.Read full review

More than just a kit lens.
Super sharp, great colours, all at a cheap price.
Often put down as a kit lens this 24-85 mm lens punches way above its weight. Yes it’s not the fastest lens out there , but the VR gives it 4 stops extra.
The images speak for themselves.Read full review

Super lightweight lens for full frame Nikon
Lightweight and great quality in a small, neat package. Half the size and weight of the 24-70mm, with slightly longer reach. I have overlooked this gem of a lens for too long and realised its potential when shopping for something more user friendly for my daughter to handle. Great intro lens for full frame photography. I would definitely recommend.Read full review

Great go to lens
Use it as a standard lens, good range, fast focus and light. Superb Optics. I use it on a D800 along with 24-70 f2.8 the king! Very similar performance for half the weight. A lot cheaper too.
A kit lens yes but optically very sound.Read full review

Good price for a better than average lens
If you have the cash, then by all means get the Nikkor 24-70, but this lens for the money is a good performer. You won't miss the other lens's wider aperture in most situations and that lens is a heavy one to carry around.
If you've bought a semi-pro Nikon body, this lens is fine. If as a semi-pro you've splashed out a pro body, well you're probably a bit pixel obsessed and this lens won't deliver all your super Nikon is capable of.
But if you're not cropping in heavy or printing to poster size, this lens is really rather good.Read full review

Wonderful lens
I lkike this lens a lot. The image is sharo and clear, and the AF works pefectly. I like the versatiltiy of the 24-85 zoom. It's great for landscape and portrait.

Nikon 24-85
Well made and relatively light - amazing sharpness. Could not justify the expense of the 2.8 version.
