Considering that effectively it's a kit lens (paired with D600 it goes for less than 400 eur), I'd say it's acceptable. There were some obvious corners cut, however what else can you get for full frame for this price? <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

The only viable alternative would be Tamron 28-75mm, maybe?

I think both D600 and D800 have very high quality outputs. I suspect that this lens could match the potential IQ level. Yes the price earns an applause, but most of the D600/D800 owners could pay 200$ more for a better performance.
I personally believe that the strong point of this lens is that the long end reaches 85mm. But other than the FL, it does not look ok to me (at least on paper).
I really wonder why they don't introduce a 35-85mm f/2.8 lens... Wouldn't that be a nice fit (as an alternative to 24-70mm)?
