Comment: Marvelous lens. It is wonderfully sharp and gives colors depth and density rather than lollipop saturation.

Summary: One of my favorite zoom lenses.... 2008-10-20
Comment: I've posted a bunch of images taken with this lens here on this page. I am a big fan of prime lenses and very picky about the image quality. I have been seriously taking picture for 40 years and this is my first zoom lens that I purchased and I am not disappointed.
Although I saw quite a few very good reviews on the new Nikon 24-70mm f2.8 ED IF lens which can cover more area, After serious considerations, I still will not letting this one go. The full size images look a lot better than the ones that got shrinked (re-sized) and posted here. If I need to cover more area, I will use my 20mm lens for that.
Other than the optic quality, the lens is very well built. It feels heavy given that it doesn't look that big. I usually carry two cameras. This one is now attached to one of my cameras at all time.

Summary: Excellent lens for the price 2008-04-21
Comment: Superb image quality, amazing sharpness, excellent contrast and colors. Focuses quickly on my D50 and with little trouble. The macro mode works great and is a nice addition. The focal range makes it nice for a walkaround lens. Sharp even at f/2.8.
My only complaint is the weight of it, the lens is a tank. But all the good things definitely outweigh the bad. Well worth the $$$.

Summary: Master craft. State of the art in the 90's still pack a punch 2008-02-24
Comment: I got this lens as a functional and economical alternative to the AF-S 24-70mm and 28-70mm Nikkor lenses as my standard lens. Boy, did I underestimated the value I was getting into; this thing is a beauty both performance as well as construction.
Cons - Slower and not as quiet AF without sonic motor (AF-S), 62mm vs the standard 77mm for contemporary Nikkor pro lenses, a tad heavy (heavier than it looks), doesn't go below 35mm focal length.
Pros - Sharp pictures, metal and sturdy construction, macro mode with extreme close-ups (<10")
As with all Nikkor lenses, this thing is built solid and great optics. Being a new amature photographer, this thing brought both pride of ownership to a piece of art as well as being able to appreciate the craftmanship of another era (90's). I love the pictures I've gotten from this lens, and it has become de facto lens for portraits and general use. For the money I saved from going to the 28-70 or 24-70, I'm ready for a ultra wide-angle lens to complete my lens kit.

Summary: Incredible Lens 2007-12-29
Comment: First off, I didn't buy this lens on Amazon, but got it cheaper used through ebay. This lens is great. I used it on my D40 to take shots at Christmas. Took absolutely amazing and sharp pictures, and I'm only a beginner. The 2.8 aperture meant I didn't need the flash indoors and still got decent shutter speeds. It is a little soft wide open, but honestly, what lens isn't. This lens does add some weight to your camera, but that's only because of it's solid metal body. The macro setting does an OK job. It's not as good as a dedicated macro obviously, but gets the job done if you need it. I highly recommend purchasing this lens soon. They have been discontinued and the price is only going to go higher the longer you wait.
