The Nikkor AF 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5D ED was Nikon's first consumer grade wide angle zoom lens and the results achieved by this lens on the D3x clearly show how much this market segment has evolved over the recent years. The lens delivers very good to excellent sharpness in the image center, but that's about all the good news we can report. The build quality of the lens is ok and on the same level as other Nikon consumer lenses of that era. However, that can't balance out the optical flaws of the lens.

The Nikon 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5 is a good-performing, well-built, smoothly-operating wide-to-normal zoom lens. If you frequently find yourself shooting within its focal length range, it would be a good step up from typical kit lenses. On the other hand though, the remarkable Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 Di II gives more performance in just about every parameter at a price that's comparable or lower, and the Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 DC Macro gives it a run for its money as well. If you want to stay within the Nikon product line, the 18-35mm is a great lens. If you don't mind going the third-party route, the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 or Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 are both attractive alternatives.
