its a convenient range to use for sure. I dont have experience with it. its a nice discount from the regular price too. I have mixed feelings about this range.
1- from what the lenses show, its optically not possible to creative a range over 3x that has really outstanding IQ. no lens made as of today, over 3x the focal length has ever been a fabulous performer. notice todays pro offerings are at times not even hitting 2x. imn sure its a good performer, but im biased towards 2.8 zooms. this is just me though. I dont look for convenience. I want the best in IQ and I want the 2.8 ability. the reason pro's use f/2.8 is not because of the extra stop of light though...

2-I myself would not shoot with these all in one lenses. this is me though. again, no experience but Im not certain the 24-120 is on the level the 28-70 2.8 AFS is.
3-if I were to ever buy a lens in this range, I probably would get the sigma 24-105 ART over the nikon, but currently it is not in stock from sites ive seen. its a new technology and from the little ive read is superior to the nikon. every single ART lens released has surpassed any other comparable lens, hands down. this is IF I was ever looking for an all in one.
regarding ken. hell say anything to sell. he wont say anything is bad because a person lost is a potential sale for someone to click using his sponsored links. I dislike his begging and how he shows off his breitling watch and mercedes cars and throws his kids in every picture for guilt so you tip him. I havent gotten to his site in a long time. his reviews are no longer reliable to my eyes. he is no photographer in my eyes. he is an engineer. he pictures have technical correctness in them. but not a gram of art in them. everything is shot stopped down. he once used to be a reliable source. like I said, I no longer frequent his site.
