NIKON 24-85mm F/3.5-4.5G ED VR AF-S is an entry-level all-around lens perfect for travel photography and is known for a good balance of performance and versatility.
Personally I like this lens a lot. It has short comings, but the size, weight, and zoom range make it my general use lens. If I'm going to shoot something specific, then I'll pick a better lens for that specific use/event, but I like the 24-85 for everyday catch something.
I have the zoom lens and I am a little disappointed if I use it in wide angle even at sweet spot. In corners the lack of sharpness is very noticeable and the distorsion too. At 28mm my old manual AI Nikkor is far superior. It's a versatile lens but those edge problems don't give me confidence.
@@mistergiovanni7183 I think it's because these people know what they're doing. I use Rawtherapy and all I have to do is enter my camera and the lenses I use and correction is applied automatically. All distortion is removed. If you use the Nikon software to develop your RAW footage it's even easier.
Hello, I want to know how this 24-85g vr lens performs on the Nikon D610, because beginners need a lens that is relatively easy to use and the price is not too expensive. I also considered 24-120 f/4g before, but it is too much Expensive. If the image quality of 24-85g vr is OK, I will buy it and use it with Nikon D610😊
At 24mm if you got closer to your focal point you'd get more background blur. 3.5 is pretty good for not missing focus but still getting background blur. It's good enough lol.
Ok, first of all if you want bokeh you need to get closer to the subject. That's how to get better bokeh. If you zoom in though you will see blurriness in the background. Second of all, if you want to check a lens for corner to corner sharpness you need to take a photo of a flat surface. You zoomed in on the base of the tree which is behind the focal plane so it's farther away, of course it's going to be out of focus. That's called bokeh. GET IT?

This for the price is an excellent lens.. works on DX and Fx
Spent a whole day with this lens taking landscape shots ,pretty good in my opinion
Cool! I just bought one.
It was the kit lens for the D610. If you want a lens you won't have to upgradge for a while find the nikon 24-120 F4 or a used tamron 28-75 f2.8

Thanks Anton. But isn’t 24-70 like 3-4x the price??????
Surprised you didn’t mention the strong pincushion / distortion at 24mm and at the further focal lengths
It's amazing, there are definitely people who don't see the distortion that some lenses generate, especially zooms.

I use this lens a tot even though I have the 24-70. It is quite sharp.

Correct - it was an apples to apples comparison though, the G1 has more bokeh and more overall blur than G2, but very marginal.
thanks you
Good Review
Excellent review Anton --- bw
Don’t buy new lenses.
Why? I bought a brand new G2, and I'm very happy with it.
in todays world, I dont trust buying used from strangers....too many scammers..no waranty either..
If no one bought new lenses then used lenses wouldn't exist.
