gcgrant Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 Folks - I have received several great pieces of advice regarding lens choices via a recently posted forum question. Thanks to all for the input. I am now in the process of narrowing my choices and would like any feedback from experiences with a Nikkor 24-85 F2.8-4 D IF ASPHERICAL MACRO (72)lens. I am also willing to entertain alternate brands of equal quality and performance. And these do not have to be AF lenses. At this range I am fine with manual focus provided the lens does not disable my metering capabilities (F90 body). Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edroper Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 ...I wouldnt spend the money....for the price of that lens new, i'ld get a 50 1.8 and 24 2.8 new.... primes with a fixed aperture will benefit you alot more in the long run....i avoided the variable aperture zoom temptation and have been happy beyond belief...

craig_bridge Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 Mine is decent in the 24-35mm range even wide open (which is why I bought it) and it saves carrying a 24, 28, and 35mm. The 85mm f/4 end is slow and needs to be stopped down some and the wide angle lens hood isn't useful at the tele end. It makes a decent two zoom set when paired with the 80-200 f/2.8.
