How is this zoom lens? The lens seems to have a very good reputation among users. Many people have talked about the very low distortion which is only seen in the range of 28-35mm and beyond which distortion is hardly seen. This character seems very remarkable among zoom lenses in this FL range.



A used copy of this lens has a very good price, so I have a desire to buy one. But I want to know sharpness wise how this lens is compared to the AF-D 24-85mm f2.8-4. Are they similar or is one better than the other?



I also want to know the comparison of this lens to the AF-S 24-120mm f4 VR (also sharpness wise). I know the latter is much more modern but from the test results at PZ I don't think its IQ justifies its high price.



Thank you for opinions in advance.



Best regards,

Frank
