Review: If you have the money BUY IT!! - if you have in your possession a high end DX or a full frame (fx) camera then this lense is a must have item. OK it costs in the region of £1250 but at the end of the day this is a lense has been designed for the pro's but at the same time allowing us mere mortal keen amateures to experience picture quality that we may not see otherwise. I won't bore you with all the technical details of the lense as i'm sure you would look this up for yourself, so all i will say is, I bought this lense to go on my D800, this being full frame i get the maximum benifits from the lense. (but pictures are just as good with DX bodies). when you pick the lense up it quite simply oozes quality, both the other two rings for manual focusing and focal lengh adjustment are smooth and free from any backlash and with no VR function focusing is super fast and as for the quality of the photo;s they are frighteningly good, clear and very sharp (drag some up on net and check them out), this is a serious lense designed to capture your subject at it's best and this is why i use this as my everyday lense, in fact it very rarely comes off the camera. INITIAL DOWNSIDE the lense is quite heavy at around 900gr and makes the camera feel very heavy to lug around but after about a month you won't notice it. MY CONCLUSION don't hesitate and buy it, you'll soon forget about your lightened bank balance when you see the quality of your pictures.
Review: This lens out-performs the f2.8 version which is about 3 or 4 times more expensive. - This is the full frame FX lens every Nikon photographer raves about. Nearly every review tells of how this lens out-performs the f2.8 version which is about 3 or 4 times more expensive. It sharpness through the f-stop range is brilliant. It as VR, vibration reduction, which even works if you're using your DSLR to shoot video. I've never seen any of my hand-held video look so sharp or steady. I love this lens. I did not love the plastic sun hood, which I broke upon first use. I rarely use the sun hoods. I'd also say the thread on the front for screwing on filters and holding the lens cap isn't as deep (Not as many turns) as other lenses, so I knock the lens cap off far too quickly when out in the field. I still love this lens, though. I still give it five stars. The price is brilliant. The quality of the photographs are fantastic and it even works for video. Buy it. Be happy. Photograph other happy people. Save money.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Big & beautiful.
*by N***N on 14 March 2010*

It should be noted this is a big, beast of a lens and not far short of a 1Kg in weight. So you won't get this in your jacket pocket! Seriously, for a standard / wide angle zoom is is very big and does take some handling. However, it does feel like the business. Sturdy and good looking. The results are impressively crisp and having the F2.8 capability is really worth the extra size and weight. The zoom ring nearest the camera seems really close, and my hands found themselves changing the focus ring instead to begin with, but you soon get the feel for where everything is. Only thing it lacks is the VR which I have on other lenses and don't really know why it has been left off this one. Great lens.
