Nikon 24-85 ED - sharper than a sharp thing!!!

[TRACKDEMON]

Whilst not in the same ballpark as a Hasselblad + quality film I'm really impressed by the sharpness of this lense whilst hanging off a D2 or D200; dial in correct exposure, tripod mount ideally f8 and your in business. We're talking about a lense that cam be purchasd sub £300 but delivers properly useable results at normal focal lengths! Does anyone else have/use one?

[RobDickinson]

Most lenses will perform ok stoped down, its wide open that separates the good uns..

[TRACKDEMON]

Seriously, compaeed to most others I've used its impressive at its price point - its still great wide open too.

Yep, Mrs CVP and I both use this as our standard walkabout lens. Performance per pound is really pretty good I think and a lot lot lighter to carry round all day than the 17-55 f2.8
