Review on Nikon NIKKOR 24 85Mm 2 8 4D Cameras by Sara Reyes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I really like this lens, despite Ken Rockwell's review on it.

What a basic (FUU!) Tamron lens, labeled and marketed as a Nikon lens. I really admire Rockwell and their device reviews, but I decided to take a chance and I'm very happy with it. I'm sure technically I'm a lot less picky than Ken. I can't find any unwanted distortion or vignetting at any of the focal lengths and have reviewed the entire range since purchasing this lens. In my long photographic history I have acquired several obscenely expensive (in hindsight) highly advertised lenses to which this lens compares pleasantly and positively. But then. I no longer have customers to impress with "the value of my gear" to justify my daily rates. However . Yes. that's my thumbs up! For my purposes it is completely satisfactory. I would definitely buy it again. However, if I find any unpleasant flaws in it, I will certainly review it (and as morality requires, I will apologize to Rockwell).

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Not the best
