Sneak Preview: Nikon AF-D 24-85mm f/2.8-4

At the end of the day there is a relationship towards the pricing of these things.

The large aperture of the old model doesn't make things any easier at max. aperture, of course.

The difference in aperture isn't enough to merit much thought, I think - f/2.8-4.0 vs. f/3.5-4.5

I did use the 2.8-4.0 for a while and wasn't terribly impressed. It wasn't bad, just unremarkable, and mechanically somewhat convoluted. I'd take a 3.5-4.5 VR any day over the 2.8-4.0 unless the sharpness difference is noticeable in the favour of the D, which I think is improbable.



By the way Klaus, since you're in this thread... can we hope for a retest of the Canon 24-85 lens? Maybe a full frame evaluation even?
