Good overall, BUT....
This is a good lens and works nicely. It isn't quite as wide angle as the 18-105, but it seems to be built sturdier and has less vignetting from what I've noticed. The big caveat is the BOKEH!!! Severe onioning and halos when shooting shallow depth of field and having something that will provide round blur in the background. If this weren't an issue I'd easily give it 4 1/2 stars.

avoid this one
Ken Rockwell got this one right in his review as one of Nikon's ten worst lens ever made.
it is horribly soft focusing at any F stop below F8.
and a ton of Barrel distortion at its wide 24mm.
If I were Nikon I would have scrubbed this one from the line up as it does nothing to further Nikon or Nikkor's great reputation for superior products and quality.

Dissatisfaction
I dreamed of owning a Nikon SLR since the very first F-models came out but it did not become reality until I retired in 2005. I was able to purchase a new D70 body and a new SWM VR ED IF 24-120 zoom lens to go with it. I soon found out that there is NO sharp point of focus. The infamous yardstick test shows that there is an area that is less unsharp than the surrounding area but nothing that can be called a sharp point of focus.
2 years later I bought a D90 body and it shows the same lack of performance with 4 different lenses one of which is not a Nikon brand. Do I expect too much from digital cameras and lenses?
I sent the D70 and lens back to Nikon for repair with a letter of explanation but the camera returned no better than it had been and I was $300 poorer.

nice Range
This lense does not focus fast. The 24-120 f4g is much faster. On the nikon site it does not allow one to register the lense because there is no place to input the serial number. I have been told that Nikon no longer keeps track of products registered with them. Is this true or not. I have been a regular customer of Nikon since 1972 and find the service to be quite lacking at the present time.

Answer:
i agree with keith, f/22 is not really good due to diffraction. however, it's perfectly possible you've got a back/front focus lens. what camera are you using it with?Answer:
Shooting at F22 is never going to get the best out of the lens, usable, but not the best. Is there any reason for shooting at such apertures ?, try it at say f8 - f11 and see if that makes any difference.1 of 1
