Summary: Great lens when you don't want to carry the big AF-S. Works well on a D800. Only limited by the focal range and the push pull design which you need to get used to.
f/3.5 is less than half the price and has less distortion

Summary: Get the f/3.5 for $100-$150. They have less distortion than the f/2.8. I have one - sharp as a tack. [...] Check out Ken Rockwell's review of the Nikon 35-70 3.5.
Summary: This lens is no longer manufactured, so you have to buy it used. Be particular about the quality, otherwise, you're wasting your money if the lens has fungus or scratches...
Summary: Everything the reviews said about this lens is true.It stays on my d700.Love the colors it produces.If you can find a good one used,go for it.
Summary: I've had this lens since new and used it for several years on film bodies. I keep thinking about upgrading for zoom range, but the 35-70 keeps producing superb images.
Pros: Very sharp, light weight, somewhat small, tank
Summary: I Think this was one of Nikon's top professional midrange zoom for over ten years, I did the right thing paid $400 to buy this lens instead for the biger , heavier, more
