Thom's Mini Review: I remember walking around Patagonia with the original 24-120mm lens and having a very meh reaction to it. This latest version also feels very meh to me. Good news: it's sharper than the lens it replaced, and very visibly so wide open in the center. Vignetting is interesting, with a wide central area at 24mm that doesn't have any, but then a big dramatic increase just before the corners. Overall, though, vignetting is well controlled at the smaller apertures. Bad news: it produces a high amount of visible chromatic aberration, and it's never quite sharp in the corners. Overall: I'm still ambivalent about this lens. I had higher hopes for it, but at least it's well in the usable range now, even on a D850.
