from N/A Summary: This is the only lens I would take when I need to travel. It is sharp, well constructed and allows the use of the most common focal lengths. It has produced excellent portraits in the studio for me and very beautiful landscape photography also. Since I do not do interiors often the f3.5 aperture does not bother me and the same goes with f5.6 outdoors. In the studio I often shoot at 85mm f8 and the images are tack sharp, comparable to those of my 105 f2.5 Nikkor. Flare is not a problem with this lens. Strengths: Sharp, contrasty and well constructed, practical focal lengths for everyday use. Weaknesses: The f3.5-5.6 lens opening range does not bother me nor should bother anyone using the lens for outdoors or studio work. The internal focus is useless when you zoom the lens since the barrel rotates. If you also have the 80-200 Nikkor lens save money by buying an adapeter ring from 72-77mm for your lens and use the 77mm filters of your big gun on it. Similar Products Used: Other Nikon lenses. Customer Service: My sample was a present. The person who gave it to me did something to the lens because the lens was not communicating with the camera. I sent the lens to Authorized Photo Service in Chicago. The focus needed adjustment and the lens openings had to be re-calibrated. A champ again ever since.
