Is the nikon af s dx 10 24mm f 3 5 4 5g ed worth buying used?

Yes, I think it's a sensible used buy. As I say on the buying used page, good lenses hold their value far better than bodies, so a used copy of this one is a low-risk way to get a wide zoom.

It's made for APS-C, so it's happiest on a DX body. On a Nikon D7500 it frames like 15-36mm on full frame, which suits landscapes, architecture and interiors. It isn't stabilised, and the aperture narrows as you zoom, so don't expect it to shine in low light.

If you have a full-frame Nikon like the D850, it still works in APS-C crop mode, but you give up resolution. In that case, a full-frame wide zoom is the better long-term choice.
