📸 Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor Lens 24-85mm f/2.8-4D IF Review

after reading laudatory reviews about this lens, I decided to buy it to replace 18-105, which I soon regretted. Apparently positive reviews about him are left by people who understand little in this area. Of the pluses, one can only note the aperture of 2.8. Of the minuses: very soapy, at some aperture values ​​it is striking, 18-105 is sharper. Heavy.

Its pros: He draws beautifully. Beautiful bokeh. Very clear and light. Its money is completely worth it, the main thing is not to run into a fake. Its cons: there is no stabilizer, but even without it, not blurry photos are obtained at sufficiently long shutter speeds.

With its pros: Aperture, beautiful bokeh even at medium apertures and, of course, sharpness. Different cons: I haven't found any shortcomings yet, except for the slightly inconvenient switching between the Macro and Normal modes.
