3 things: -the dust issue is not a rumor and it's really annoying. However, if you never shoot f16 and up or don't shoot studio photography, you probably won't even notice. -The quality of this body is great it gives really good pictures (in the day).

I have used this many times in the last three weeks and am happy with the results as far as sharpness, clarity and VR so far. I shoot landscape so I am almost always at f/7-f/13. And at $397 I can't see getting anything better.

This lens offers average to inferior clarity on an Fx camera were focal tuning is necessary, and poor clarity on a Dx camera when lens tuning is not available. Color fringing is a given with this lens. It weighs a lot when attached to a small Dx camera.

Easily Interchangeable; Strong Construction

Blurry Focus; Heavy; Poor in Low Light; Slow Focus

Is Nikon attempting to ease the passage of enthusiasts into its professional DSLR system with its new budget full-frame lens? We find out whether the 24-85mm does justice to the cameras. Read the AF-S Nikkor 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR review...

Unfortunately the same can not be said about corresponding lenses, especially zoom lenses. There are lots of very good, but quite expensive higher grade lenses, but modern and affordable consumer zooms, that we see from almost any manufacturer for their APS-C cameras, largely don't exist for the...

In short Nikon D610 is the best camera from Nikon Series, fulfill all your needs of photography and makes you ceremonies beautiful and comfortable.

While I hope to create a full Nikon 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G AF-S VR Lens, my first priority is to include results from this lens in the lens comparison tools available on the site. This page currently exists because it is required by the database and content management systems for me to post information...

In 2000 Nikon launched the Nikkor AF 24–85 mm f/2.8–4D IF lens but, as it didn't have an ultrasonic motor, two years later the line-up of that producer was complemented by a bit slower Nikkor AF-S 24–85 mm f/3.5–4.5G IF-ED, already equipped with such a motor.

good image quality in the frame centre; decent image quality on the edge of APS-C/DX; good correction of the longitudinal chromatic aberration; not bothersome distortion on APS-C/DX sensor; almost imperceptible coma on the smaller detector; moderate vignetting on APS-C/DX; silent and accurate...

slacks on the manual focus ring; weak image quality on the edge of full frame; very high lateral chromatic aberration and on both types of detectors to boot; noticeable spherical aberration; pronounced distortion at the ends of focal range on full frame; high vignetting level on the bigger detector,...

I chose this for my full frame D600 for general use, because the 24-120mm f4 is bigger, heavier and twice as expensive, and according to several tests not much better - and soft above 85mm.

Very convenient focal range; compact and very sharp except corners

Not perfect for full frame cameras; despite being kit lens for D600

Overall, the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm ED VR lens does offer a useful focal range, well-implemented Vibration Reduction system, fast auto focus and respectable build quality, all in a relatively lightweight and compact design.
