Exceptional Walkaround Lens
I purchased the 24-85mm f/2.8-4D because I wanted a lens that provided the focal range of 24mm for landscape and 85mm for portraits. The macro feature interested me that I can photograph a subject up close for tabletop photography. I've been able to grow and improve my photography skills with this lens from photography classes to corporate events and doing product shots.
When I first started using the 24-85mm f/2.8-4D, I noticed some vignetting going on at wider shots, but so long as i don't use a filter, it is hardly noticeable. The autofocus isn't as fast or quiet as my more expensive primes, but is still fast enough for me to use at events and the sound of it focusing is similar to ball bearings spinning unlike my other lenses.
I originally purchased the 24-85mm f/2.8-4D for my F5 and had amazing results on film. I'm glad it works with my D7100, but on entry-level DSLR, the auto-focus can't be used. Still, this lens offers a lot of value with its capabilities and versatility at a price the fraction of more expensive lenses making it a perfect walk-around lens for the park, street, or wherever your travels take you.

Great all around lens.
Been using this lens for many years. All the way back to my N70 film camera. Fast lens with decent zoom. Wish it would zoom a bit more than the 85mm. I bought this over the 24-120mm since it was faster and back in the film days you needed the extra speed for lower light conditions. I wouldn't say that this is an extremely sharp lens but it's decent enough. If you're doing portraits do you really need to see every single pore on someones face? When shooting at 24mm, I noticed that you have to be careful about vignetting especially if you shoot at a wider aperture. Don't think about stacking filters at wider aperture. When moving to a D700, vignetting was even worse and I had to even get thinner filters to prevent vignetting. Macro capability is nice to have. For a screw type lens it focuses pretty fast.

Great lens I have been using for 12 years. Sharp and fast.
Can be challenging because of the lack of the VR. Beautiful lens overall.

Good travel lens, but vignetting can be an issue
This was my go to lens for over 10 years. On my F100 it performed beautifully. I never considered leaving it behind, indeed sometime it was the only lens that I would bring on my frequent travels. It was fast enough, not too conspicuous and met my needs most of the time. Even when I switched to DX format, it was mounted on my camera 80% of the time.
On my D700 I noticed vignetting, made worse when a filter was attached, thicker polarizers should be avoided or consider a newer thin polarizer.

Great Versatile Lens
This lens does a little bit of almost everything and it's super sharp. It is the go-to walking around lens on my D7000.

Great travel lens
Great travel lens. My sample is sharp at all focal lengths and apertures. Additionally, it has great bokeh and color rendition. Only downside is it's a little big and heavy. It has exceeded my expectations for a zoom.

Glad I have it!
This lens is outstanding for value and practicality. Like anything, at either extreme, (24 or 85mm), this lens isn't as fantastic as it is in all the middle lengths. I use it constantly on my D300S and a D50. Along with my 70-200 f/2.8, I don't need to pack my other lenses.

Flexibility for lighter cameras
"I purchased this for off camera flash work. It works great with a canon flash which weighs a little over a pound. The quick release tab helps reduce the hassle of setting up, and the tripod is capable of holding the flash securely. It did not as work well with an EOS 50D and even my lightest 50 mm prime. It can hold the camera fine so long as the weight is centered over the head and legs. Tilting the head more the 10 or 20 degrees, for example to take a portrait, results in a slowly slouching camera body. I think most DSLRs will have this issue. If you plan to use this with a lighter camera, or do not plan on tilting the head too much, then it will work great. If you want more control over composition get the SLR-ZOOM legs and a ball head."
