I shoot with the Nikon D-850 and was carrying around the 24-85 F2.8/ 4 Macro lens but have since purchased the Nikkor AF-S, 24-120mm, F4 lens as my walking around lens. So far I like it because it gives me a good wide angle but also it has a short zoom so it's working out fine. Of course a F 2-8 would have been great but I couldn't find one and then like you I just can't afford the high prices of a lens such as that.
Enjoy, David
I have the AF-S Nikkor 24-85 1:3.5 4/5 G which I like and I use it for landscape shooting and family gathering. It is sharp, but not tack sharp. Maybe I just need to recalibrate it again. These two shots are edited in Photoshop to try to get the most out of them. Would the F2.8/ 4 lens be any sharper? These were taken in Crested Butte, CO in the middle of May this year. Amazing how much snow was still on the ground there.
