Next PZ lens test report: Nikkor AF 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5D ED
#28
I have the AF Nikkor 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5D, and I believe the specimen tested by Photozone to be grossly defective/maladjusted!

My copy of this lens is SHARP! Already from wide open it's sharp way out! The corners are a little softer and darker of coarse.



From f/5.6 to f/11 this lens is top notch, only slightly beaten by the 14-24, 24-70 and 17-35 on sharpness.

Of coarse it gives a bit more distortion and less light than those lenses, but that's the price to be paid for the extremely small size and weight.



In NO WAY do I recognize the results in Photozone's review from my experience with this lens!

And I have tested it head-to-head with many pro lenses.

This lens har many good reviews out there, so don't judge it on this review alone <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' />
