Strength:
Very sharp from f4 onwards
Weakness:
Slow to shoot because you need to stop down first A unique lens from Nikon. This is a specialized lens. The T/S feature makes this lens ideal for certain type of commercial photography. With its 1:2 macro facility, one can shoot small objects and still get the required DOF without having to stop down all the way. Versatile enough for portrait work.

Strength:
Is this the sharpest lens on this planet? Subjectively it outperforms the AF-Nikkor 60 mm f/2.8. Contrast is astonishing, colours are very natural. Mechanically it is built like a tank.
Weakness:
Operating this lens on F-100 is a bit slow because that camera like most others requires the lens to be set at full aperture, untilted and unshifted when the light i measured. I'm told however that is not the case with the F3AF (?) so I cannot blame the lens for this. Awesome! Fabulous for portraits, stillebens, small non-moving objects etc. If you think this kind of lens is something for you and you can afford it, buy it! Customer Service Haven't had to use it.

for what it's meant to do it does it great.
Weakness:
learning curve is high if new to TS lenses, size is abit of a hinder-ence sometimes. I onl had a few short weeks with this lense cause a friend wanted to seriously try my AFS 17-35. well I a not much of an authority on tilt/shifting in a picture. with me I just fidle around till I like what I see. this lense does great and from what slides I have it is very shrp too. if you can find the need for it by all means I recommend it.
