You had me looking for an F 35-85, no such beast. I see from the web page you meant the 35-80/4-5.6. I have an F 28-80/3.5-4.5 that has done very well considering it's $25.00 US price tag. I think some of the older F lenses are highly under-rated just because they're heavy and quite ugly. The 28-80 is quite homely but a very good lens all around. The 35-80 is quite a bit more pleasing to the eye. I also have an F 35-70/3.5-4.5, very cheap but has given me almost unbelievably good results on the D.
