Everything. Good zoom range and super crisp images.

Weight. I can almost cancem my gympass and use this 3 times a week its so heavy. If you plan on using this lens for long periods of time I'd start doing wrist curls at the gym.

This is one of my favorite lenses that I own for my Nikon D70. I have read TONS of reviews on this lens before begging my friend that owned it to sell it to me for $400. I bought it for a wedding I was shooting and the pictures came out spectacular. My only regret was that my wrist hurt by the end of the shoot (over 4 hours) due to the weight of the lens. I will try to post some pictures so people can see the quality of the images.If you have the cash to spend on this one you wont regret it.

Beautiful image quality, contrast, and that constant f/2.8 aperture.

Focusing mount was a bit loose when I got it, got looser until I had to take it in for repair. There was noticeable viewfinder-visible image deterioration, just wiggling the front of the lens side to side.

I've used it several years on my film Nikons, recently on my Nikon D70, and love it. I believe the variance in quality some have reported may be due to looseness in the focusing mount, something I have fixed in my lens.

I used Advance Camera Repair in Beaverton, Oregon, a highly competent facility. My warranty might still be in effect, but I trust Dave at Advance.
