from Gift Summary: I recived this lens, along with two others when I was given a Nikon F3, and much to my joy I found out that I could actually use these with my D300. I quickly put this lens into use both on my F3 and D300. It proved amazing to work with on the D300.
It's low profile and the 1.5x mag factor made it perfect for candid street photography. In the field of photo journalism this thing is a classic lens, like street photography I was able to get nice candid shots of the event participants without needing flash (f/4 ISO-1600), and maintain a distance so that they wouldn't 'pose.'
On the F3, it provides a great portrait lens, and use in photo journalistic shooting also, but the 1.5x factor is missed, I guess at this point I'm used to it. Strengths: Sharp
Fast
Built in Hood
Low Profile
Weaknesses: Manual Focus, while not really a weaknesses, in quick situations a person not used to manual focus may have problems using it.
Limited to Manual or Aperture Priority mode only, which for myself isn't a problem as those are the two I use the most. Similar Products Used: A wide range of Nikkor Auto Focus Lenses and older Pentax and Minolta Manual Focus lenses.
