Type of review

For a long time I tried to adapt to 24-70 2.8 (4 years). I lost a bunch of interesting shots (either a shake, or a focal length of 70mm is not enough, and the long end on most lenses is not the sharpest). After buying 24-85 3.5 4.5, the top 24-70 has been idle for more than a year. Before this purchase, I often saved 70 -200 2.8, but with it it is not always possible to cover everything. Now it is less often used with all the ego's real virtues. 24-85 is very sharp at 800, focuses quickly. The…

Pros
  • Ideal sharpness for D800 and D7100 Bokeh at 50 mm, even 7.1, is pleasant when portraiting. Light VR saves Less distortion than 24-70 2.8 and sharp in the plane, not in the sphere (equally sharp hair and heels)
Cons
  • No, a barrel and a pillow, so where they are not))). You can use distortion for creativity. For example, if in the open air there is a head in the center, and the legs in the corner, with certain poses, the legs will effectively lengthen.

The price/quality ratio is great, I will buy again.

On the crop, https://fotki. https://fotki. https://fotki. Its pros: Uniform sharpness starting with open DFs along the entire length Has some cons: Sharpness (when viewing a frame at 100% magnification) is lower than fixes, but this is a drawback of all zooms, especially with respect to "budget" zooms.

I am completely satisfied, item complies with description.

What I want to say about this sample, for its price, it is ideal for Nikon crop cameras. Got pros: I used the old version, Value for money, the resolution is pretty good, and the lens itself is not afraid of backlight. With its cons: Of the minuses, vignetting and geometric distortions, According to the cut of the frame, it really soaps, and noticed that this is a defect, this did not occur.

I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

about sharpness, aperture, bokeh, I'm talking about something else: when ordering in pixel 24, the consultant offered to pay extra for the selection, for the lack of back or front focus 800 wooden ones, apparently I don’t understand something, if I can’t use the purchased goods fully and immediately, every third lens goes for adjustment, this is normal ! I didn’t understand, what kind of business trade in notorious marriage is considered the norm! And the question, rather rhetorical, what kind

Pros
  • for the money that I paid for it today 11 08 2022 is not bad (17000)
Cons
  • I regret that I did not buy a year ago for that money

I'm impressed! Exactly the product deserves your attention.

Now I take with me only a makrik and, sometimes, a telephoto. E. Aleinikov Some pros: An excellent stabilizer, which more than compensates for not the highest aperture ratio. Very fast focusing. Good color rendering. Detailing is top notch. Weight and dimensions are excellent. Its cons: Front-back focus did not allow for sharp pictures. Undertook to eliminate with the help of the camera. Almost succeeded, but at the extreme values ​​of the focal front, the focus was at one end, and the back at…

One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

For such money - absolutely out of competition. Of course, it is strange to buy budget zooms for a full-frame camera for 60 ++ or more, but, surprisingly, the full matrix is ​​beyond praise. Its pros: excellent sharpness at all apertures and across the entire field. perfectly holds the oncoming sun. strong, reliable, solid metal, no plastic. Cons: quite noisy in operation, the focusing ring is tight, it moves in jerks. the focal length ring is also not a gift, it is unrealistic to make a smooth

What I want to say about this sample, for its price, it is ideal for Nikon crop cameras. Has some pros I used the old version, still without a stabilizer. What I want to say about him. Value for money, comfortable and light. Good color reproduction and the picture itself, amazing bokeh. On the plus side, the resolution is pretty good, and the lens itself is not afraid of backlight. Cons: Of the minuses, so here are three of them. Namely, vignetting and geometric distortions, although in the…

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

I shoot full frame. I took it relatively recently, but already managed to get out for serious shooting several times. I took it like glass for everyday architectural and landscape exercises, city panoramas, partly as travel and all that. For its tasks and at its price, the glass is very worthy. In the absence of any specific high requirements for aperture, bokeh, constructive, etc. - that's what you need. The workmanship also made a good impression, nothing rattles, does not stagger and does…

Pros
  • Quite decent sharpness at all focal lengths, even with an open hole. Small size and weight, reasonable price.
Cons
  • I don’t want to find fault, especially considering the budget class of the lens. There are no obvious punctures, in my opinion.

Good product for me, no problems at all.

I bought a used one for 12 thousand and for this money it's just a super lens, there is no alternative, all sorts of Tamron and sigma are just rubbish. The sharpness in the open is just super, no worse than the fixes, the stabilizer works out at 100% the colors are very pleasant without the iron and pink on the d750. I am very pleased with the lens and I recommend it to everyone!

Pros
  • Good color, sharpness, stabilizer
Cons
  • Constructive

Well done, but I won't buy any more.

An interesting lens. The more I shoot with it, the more I like it. I shot nature at -24 degrees, the stabilizer worked fine, but for some reason the focus didn’t want to focus at close range of 24 mm. I shot it on the D800 RAV + Jeep. The lens coped with its duties. Not a single blurry shot. The video on it is of excellent quality. The fact that the lens rotates tightly from 24 to 85 is even better. Let me explain: you can set any focal lengths without fear that they will go astray (especially

Pros
  • Sharpness in good light. The price for the Chinese is high. The stabilizer works great and is quiet. Lightweight. Focuses even in poor lighting conditions.
Cons
  • At focus 24 of the internal flash, there are sometimes dark spots in the corners. Tightly turn the lens to install from 24 to 85mm.

The right product for me, there were no problems.

I came across this miracle of technology along with the d610. Initially, I treated him with great skepticism because of the aperture ratio and cost. But after shooting with him in different conditions, I realized that the glass was more than successful. I would advise it as a universal travel zoom for amateur photographers))) Below I will leave a couple of photos from this glass. https://fotki. .

Pros
  • Price stub sharp Versatility The weight
Cons
  • For such a price, it is foolish to look for any flaws. Although, if he was f4 at all fr-prices, he would not have))

I didn³'t expect the quality to be this good.

After getting acquainted with the subject, Tamron 28-75 / 2.8 and Sigma 24-70 / 2.8 went under the hammer. Nikon makes almost 100% of successful shots, and Tamron, and especially Sigma, nervously smoke on the sidelines, the number of misses in their autofocus can reach up to half. And in low light conditions, Nikon focuses much better than the above glasses with a larger hole.

Pros
  • Excellent reporter. Very fast autofocus. Detailing is top notch. Good color reproduction. Reliable. The stub is very good. Price! I used it for shooting at the registry office and at the ransom, for other cases I use fixes.
Cons
  • Not

Excellent quality, absolutely not expected for such a price.

I can note one thing that you need to adapt to shooting at a wide angle, 24 mm is still a wide angle in order to minimize geometric distortions. And if the frame is taken from the right point, then these distortions may not even be noticed, if desired, lr corrects them with one button. Even backlight holds surprisingly well. Before acquiring it, I wanted to buy a large, fast and expensive one - now I absolutely don’t want to. More than enough for a report, of course, having an APS matrix (not a

Pros
  • Easy to use, lightweight, tenacious focus, inexpensive but of high quality, assembly at a height, metal and glass + VR (generally beyond praise, I personally shot handheld at shutter speeds ranging from 1/30 to 1/60), tight rotation of the zoom ring for me, dignity, a working hood.
Cons
  • There really aren’t any, except for geometric distortions, but if you don’t shoot on film, then it’s easy to edit programmatically. HA I am present, but I have not yet met lenses where they are not, on fixes it’s generally tin, take at least the insanely expensive new 85mm.

Average purchase, there is something to complain about.

I used it on Nikon D300, the sharpness is no better than on the whale 18-105 for crop, I specifically compared them head-on, and it even seemed that 18-105 would be sharper (but maybe this is purely on my copy) and what will happen on the full frame? I think it’s generally terrible, because on the crop the edges of poor sharpness are cut off and it will be completely terrible, it’s not worth it, only if you go with the camera, you shouldn’t take it separately at all, although many say that the…

Pros
  • good assembly, good aperture for whale zoom, 4.5 at the end))) good color, no autofocus misses
Cons
  • weak sharpness, more or less sharpness starts at aperture from 5.6, terribly lame in the sun

High-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.

I switched to NIKON from the second brand of a well-known company, where I had a 24-105 / 4 - a good lens, it gave sharpness at 5-ke. This lens came with a camera. At first I thought it was just a plug, but when I tried it, I was shocked, it is no worse than 24-105, and in some respects it turned out to be better - weight, size. I set f5 and shoot the reportage without any problems. Blurring the background at 85 / 4.5 suits me quite well when shooting a reportage, and in the studio I set it to…

Pros
  • Small size The weight Stabilizer Universal focal length Sufficiently large aperture at 85mm - 4.5
Cons
  • Distortion is strong - but it is corrected in lightroom for 1 click with application to all frames

There are pluses and minuses, think before you buy.

Whoever expects landscape sharpness and portrait bokeh from this lens is not your option. In the picture, this lens is the most ordinary - there are not enough stars from the sky, but it gives a stable and predictable result! One word - kit. I bought a BU, as a universal one (14,000 for 2019), for traveling and walking light. I take it either as the main lens, or as an additional one to one of the fixes. As a lens "just in case" or "for all occasions", it is very good - accurate autofocus, the

Pros
  • + Sharp in the center + Quiet and accurate autofocus + Hong Konganent manual focus priority (M/A) + Image stabilizer + Rubber mount boot + Full compatibility with younger carcasses "without a screwdriver" + Secondary market price
Cons
  • - Average focusing speed - High level of chromatic aberration - Strong venetting - Lack of sharpness around the edges - Thread for a 72mm light filter (neither here nor there, I would like 77mm)
