This Lens Performs As Anticipated
This lens received mixed revews everywhere I checked. Having used Nikon products for the past 37 years, and owning three Nikon lenses for my D80, I ordered it. Beach Camera's service was excellent and the lens arrived in factory fresh condition. In the past month I have used this lens shooting several indoor events, both available light and with my SB-600, with excellent results. Its performance as a Macro lens is also outstanding. For those of you who want to take this lens to a lab to find fault, have at it! It works for me!

Great all purpose lens
I have used this lens for over 3000 photographs and it is sharp but...I use it on a Nikon D200 and the four auto focus sensors can cause much frustration--desired objects out of focus!-- when having to shoot moving objects, say in a parade especially under low light conditions. I am still thinking it is me so I continue to practice hoping to figure out which setting on the d200 to use. However, when the subject is not moving it works great. It is heavy but that is what you pay for to own a good quality lens. See Ken Rockwell's review for more technical aspects. I also concur that the lens hood, although it gives that pro look, does not seat well on the lens. Overall, I highly recommend it.

A very nice lens
I'm am very happy with this lens. With macro enabled, I can REAllY get up close to the subject matter, It rarely needs to hunt around much wit the auto-focus.
There are a few issues. First, I think this lens really could benefit from a UV filter, as I do notice some purple fringing. Also, in bright situations, some color seperation is apparent. Given the size of the lens, a good filter might cost something around $60, but thats just the breaks there. My biggest issue with the lens is the hood. It's always trying to fall off, or twist away, For the price, I would have expected some little type of button catch or something to keep it in place. I've hit the point where I rarely use it, and it just gets in the way in my bag.
Even with all that, this is the first lens I reach for, and it would be the one I keep on my camera to start with if it wasnt for the lack of protective filter, and the fact that the camera sits oddly in my bag with this lens attached.
Overall, I gave it 4 stars. The chromatic abberations may get to me if I start printing out my stuff really big, but by that point, I'll have the filter I need to help correct that.
