Is anyone using their AF-S 24-120 f/4 regularly with good results?

[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 454375, member: 13090"] I do not own one but I have carried one and having a whole Photography department in my division at work, I've seen a lot of shots from faculty and students who do use the 24-120mm f/4 on a regular basis. In my experience, and the primary reason I don't own one of these lenses, is due to the problems I see with vignetting and chromatic aberration at pretty much *any* aperture above f/8. Maaaaaybe f/5.6, but that's getting dodgy from what I can tell. Yes, both vignetting and CA clean up in post, at least relatively well, but this lens carries a price tag deep into the fourth digit and for that kind of money, IMO, you shouldn't be seeing as much CA and vignetting when wide open as I'm seeing on a regular basis. That's not to say you can't nail a great shot with this lens... I've seen numerous, excellent shots taken with this lens and I don't mean to imply it's a total "dog" of a lens because it's not; you just have to work with it and know its limitations. I should also mention I'm referring to using this lens on a full-frame (FX) body; put this lens on an crop-sensor body and a lot of the issue resolve themselves at least in large part.
