from Ken Hansen New York Summary: I purchased this lens for use with my Nikon auto focus cameras. I had it modified by Rolland Elliot. Rolland put a chip in it, which allows for full matrix metering (not "D") metering with my N80 camera.
I love the lens. It is, as many writers would say, tack sharp at all f-stops. It is sturdy, but certainly hand holdable. The 52mm filter size is a plus as I do not have to lug about multiple filter sets when I use the camera with my other prime lenses (all of which use 52mm filters).
When I combine the lens with a 1.4x tele-extender, I wind up with a sharp 190 mm f4 lens.
Finally, it is a great "city lens" for taking candid photos. Strengths: Sharp images, sturdy construction, focal length that fits my style of photography. Weaknesses: None for me. Similar Products Used: Leica 135 mm "R" lens. Customer Service: No experience on this lens. Otherwise, I have had good experiences with Nikon.
