Summary: a professional looking lens.outstanding quality metal construction.saved,and waited for this lens a long time.it was going to be my all around most used keeper.then
Summary: Feels very solid. Images soft at both ends of zoom range even at middle apertures. Slow to accurately auto focus but seems to work with focus tracking okay.
Conclusion: I got it for D700, and feel the IQ at 24mm is not good enough for the FF body. I am upgrading to 24-70/2.8, which show much visible difference at 24mm.
Pros: Decent build for its price range, good macro performance
Conclusion: i bought one for use with my D700. i plan to use it for landscape work. i find my copy very sharp between f8 and f22. between f2.8-f8, i find it very soft.
Pros: Cheap, light, macro capability, sharp in the range f8-f16
Cons: On a Nikon D700, edges ultra soft at apertures wider than f8
Pricey, sexy-looking, & could be sharper for it's price

Summary: Having gotten frustrated with the limiting 35mm focal length of the Nikkor AFD35-70/2.8, I sold it and purchased the AFS28-70/2.8D almost 5 years ago.
