Well, it's a bit just in my book ...
Weak areas: corners at 24mm/purple fringing are probably it's biggest flaws
Nikon lists it at nearly €1,000 dollars .......

The corners at 24mm are quite weak but other than that it's descent.
It's actually pretty good for a superzoom.
Klaus, do you plan on reviewing the Tamron 24-200 f2.8-5.6?
It's supposed to be the best superzoom in that focal range.

Could the soft corners at 24mm come from digital correction of massive distortions ?

BTW the Canon 24-240 looks quite a bit better, except of course the uncorrected distortion / vignetting figures that were a fair bit higher.
