At the moment this lens is close in performance to my highly acclaimed 18-35mm ED Nikon lens which had a slightly shorter zoom range (I use it indoors and for some landscapes) for traveling with a lens so I bought this to fill that niche during my fall hike. So far I'm very impressed with its performance, sharpness and quite sharp with great color reproduction and tone. I wanted the famous 35-70 but not the weight or the high price. With a 24-85mm lens I'll try to come back to it when I really get a chance to test its capabilities and really see what it's capable of, apart from being a very good travel lens.
