Is the Nikon 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR AF-S Lens a good "gateway" lens?

[QUOTE="FLIGHTO, post: 354786, member: 12569"] I use the 24-85 for my general purpose lens on DX. I would recommend it more for DX then full frame if you can do without a wider fl. I was looking at the 24-120 initially but after researching the crap out of it I saw a trend in the reviews. Basically stating that the 24-120 was no sharper than the 24-85. I went to the camera store and tried both and to my surprise I found this to be true. Using the center if the glass only cancels out most of the lens weaknesses. For the price there is no reason to invest in anything more expensive unless it's 2.8!! Go see it for yourself. [/QUOTE]
