comparing against the 28-70 2.8 ED.....Is it because its D glass and not ED? Just dont understand the difference in price and would love the added range but dont want to give up quality....
you're real funny ...i actually sold my 70-300 ED to get my 70-200 (it basically covered the tax on it, lol)....not sure if you can tell yet, but i cant stand to settle....i know ill buy the 24-85 and then want the 28-70....ill just make it easy and buy it first.Uncle Frank said:There's only one way to find out for sure, Yahtzee. Buy a 24-85, and see if it satisfies your lust. If not, you can always
trade up later. Personally, though, I think the 70-200 has spoiled you for consumer lenses :twisted:.
The financially responsible solution would be to sell your 70-200 and replace it with a 70-300. Then your other
lenses wouldn't suffer by comparison.
The premium is much smaller if you compare them by the ounce ;-).Preston said:The 24-85 3.5-4.5 Nikkor is VERY good glass. Much better quality per dollar than the 28-70 2.8 Nikkor.

It does have a changing aperture, which probably is a good deal of the price difference.
