Is a Nikon 24-85mm f2.8 lens any useful?

Does anyone know if this lens is any good or useful for use with a 35mm adapter? I guess what I like to know if, does this lens have internal focus and zoom plus constant aperture?

It's a little slow on the long end, but other than that, it looks like a good lens.

As a side note, hotbuyselectronics.com is one of about a thousand companies in the NY/Jersey area with terrible reputations for bait-and-switch tactics. Amazon has the same lens in stock, for the same price:

Good luck!
