Review: Nikon 18-35mm AF-D Lens
tl;dr: A limited range, inexpensive wide angle zoom that's very sharp on any Nikon FX or DX body.
I bought this lens after accidentally dropping my 18-70mm lens, because I wanted a lens with a little less distortion than the common kit lenses I'd been using for a few years, and I didn't want to spend a ton of money on it.
