Review: This is most definatly a pro end lens. Sharp clean and a bit expensive, the norm. The price to the side if your looking for a lense that go's from a robust 24mm to a excelent 70mm normal this the one. From weddings to casuals this is one of the finest for photographing people. Clean and accurate tonal quality and tac sharp. I like using a circular polerizing filter with this one. You would be amazed at the results. This weekend I'm ot to another car show and will be using this lens extensively. Thank you Nikon.
