Nikon Zoom lens Automatic Focus - f/3.5-4.5

Pros: High quality images, MACRO CAPABILITY (YAAAY!!), Acceptable Weight, Focal Range
Cons: Pricier than competitors, other than that, NONE I can think of.

If you are a Nikon camera body owner (and I am one), there are several choices of manufacturers for this focal range of lens. Obviously, first on the list is Nikon itself, but competition is out there and there are offerings from Sigma, Tamron, Tokina...

Pros: Image quality, Macro capability to 1/2 lifesize, Focal range, Handling, Good AF speed
Cons: Should there be one? Oh, I know. It ought to have a constant f/2.8

If you are thinking about buying this lens, but have been trying to weigh your decision with other lenses, like the Sigma or the Tamron, I hope that my review would help make your decision easier. And therefore, buying the Nikon 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5D would...

Pros: Excellent lens for the price range.
Cons: Small amount of Barrel at 28mm

I had a 24-120mm Nikon lens and dumped it for this lens. I'm so glad I did. This lens is excellent! At 5.6, 8.0 and 11 it rocks. The images are sharp and clear. The contrast is kicking. I shot a roll of Fuji Superia 400, (I just had it in my bag) and was...

Pros: Superb sharpness and contrast. Resists flare well.
Cons: Autofocus a bit slow.

When I went looking for a zoom for my older Nikon 8008S the hardest part was sifting through all the hype. After looking at several sites, I settled on a real Nikkor lens instead of a 3rd party zoom. I have fixed focal lengths of 28,50,85, and 135mm in...

Pros: zoom range, sharpness, solid feel
Cons: weight

Ever since I used my Nikon F70 (N70) I doubted the quality of the cheap Sigma zoom lens I bought with it. So after reading a lot of opinions on the internet I decided to buy a Nikon 50mm/f1.4D and a Nikon 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5D zoom lens. Well, a lot of...

Pros: Everything
Cons: None

A long time Minolta user, I finally decided to see what all the broohaha concerning Nikon was all about. I'm am not a pro but do know something about photography. Let me just sya that this lens is obviously what all the noise is about in Nikon. Sharp,...

Pros: Versatile. Nice all purpose lens.
Cons: 62mm filter size means more expensive filters.

We all know that for absolute quality you cannot beat prime lenses.
Zoom lenses do give flexibility, the ability to carry one or two lenses rather than many with the loss of speed that one tends to get with zooms like this one.
I too was given...
