Pros & Cons
Pros
The lens is also useable on my fe. This thing is so versatile. That's what i get for going the cheapest used i could find.
The d is the sharpest lens of all the manual and auto-focus nikkor lenses i have owned/used. Both zoom lenses are ranked number 1 and 2 in sharpness respectively. The lens is extremely sharp from edge-to-edge, rendering crisp images with great color a... Read More
I love 35mm, this lens covers it--skipping the 35mm f/1. It has faster af than my 35m f/2 and about the same price as the 35m f/ 1. I use it mainly with my nikon d300 which gives me the equivalent of 25-52mm on the full frame, but with a deeper df, so... Read More
Physically, this lens is built like a tank, comfortably solid. Weight promotes better stability with hand-held images and keeps my vehicle from skidding on icy roads. One minor problem is that it comes in a huge hard-sided case.

Highlights
Quality
It is sturdy and well built without being too heavy
I love the fast and accurate focus solid construction very good pictures
If you want pro quality images and fast glass this is your lens
I used it shooting slided which are very sensitive to the quality of the lens and it rocks
Price
I couldn’t afford 1900 for a lens so this is a really big help
Id be very comfortable recommending this lens to anyone who has the cost of this lens fit within their budget
If you can afford this lens and are going to go fxformat buy it
If you want the best and can afford it you wont be sorry you purchased this lens

The nikon box looked worn no manual no warranty cards just not the usual nikon original packing and no new lens smell plus the ... Read More
Competitiveness
It has faster af than my 35mm f2 and about the same price as the 35mm f1
