[QUOTE="D200freak, post: 517022, member: 41018"] A little late to the party, but what the heck. The lens of which you speak is the same one that I use as my daily general purpose lens on my D800. In my opinion it is rather underrated. It is the full frame equivalent of the popular, versatile, and sharp DX 18-55mm lens and in my opinion should be in any FX format camera and lens kit Nikon offers. I have yet to notice any serious shortcomings of this lens. The one I have sometimes autofocuses incorrectly, but usually it's right on the money. It's a solid, versatile lens that gets more pictures taken through it than any other lens I own. Sure, the F/4 24-120mm VR lens may be a better lens, but then again, it's substantially more expensive as well. Even used examples on ebay go for about three times what the 24-85 goes for. [/QUOTE]
