Rated 5 out of 5 stars by 5 users at B&H Photo Video

"Best deal ever. The sharpest lens on both analog and digital cameras. It's give me extra "f" stops, even wide open, when tripod is not allowed to use. If the quality is matter, you must have one in your camera bag."

"One of Nikon's sharpest lenses! Great in the narrow range of f/4 to f/8.... doesn't get any better! A must have lens if you're a Nikon Manual Shooter or a collector of fine glass."

"No real downsides, the lens is heavy and is probably one of the finest Nikon ever produced so expect it to be discontinued and prices to soar."
