Strength:

Sharp, fast, durable. The macro mode at 35 focal length has come in handy. The slides have been extremely sharp in that mode as well.

Weakness:

None

This is a nice lens to throw in the pack on mountain bike trips. It has survived a few hairy crashes with no problems so far. It is heavy, but the speed/extra isolation abilities makes it worth it.

Model Reviewed: AF35-70mm f/2.8D Zoom-Nikkor

Strength:

For the type of work I do this lens posesses a very useful zoom range.

Weakness:

Upon suffering what I would consider a minor impact the lens suffered a break in the internal barrel. Also while the sharpness is good to very good the contrast of this lens is a bit lacking for a product aimed at the serious/professional photographer.

A very useful zoom range and very fast glass. While the contrast,in my book, is a bit flat it is still very good.

Customer Service

I had the lens serviced by Midwest Camera Repair. Avoid these people like they have The Plague. Always have Nikon do any servicing.

Model Reviewed: AF35-70mm f/2.8D Zoom-Nikkor

Strength:

The sharpest lens I own--and it's a zoom!

Weakness:

None

An incredibly sharp, snappy constant-aperture zoom that's a bit on the heavy side. Built like a tank.
