Holds It's Own With The Best
Twice as long, Three times as heavy as current zoom. Doesn't Auto focus, matrix meter, limited zoom ratio. It's a lens for photographers, not snapshot picture takers. Lens is 30 yrs. old. 30 years from now will still work perfectly, current half plastic lenses will have long since died. For a person who has only used AF-S lenses, the mechanical quality of the old lens will amaze. Image quality is as good or better than the finest, multi thousand $ current lens, at a tenth the price. 35-70mm covers moderate wide to moderate tele range, with performance similar to a prime lens.

Dual purpose
on D610 is wide to normal. on D5300 is a midrange zoom. On either body complements my 50-135 perfectly.
