    Fast and crisp

    Posted by Mike on April 13, 2011

    The pictures are very sharp and the low light capability on a D700 is fantastic.

    One of my 3 prime lenses

    Posted by edthefed on February 24, 2011

    I bought the lens for my F100 and I now use it on my D3. It has a wonderful zoom range which makes it useful in numerous situations both interior and for landscapes. Sharp and quick to zoom I couldn´t be without it. I´ve been shooting with Nikons for 33 years and this is one of my faves. The only drawback is the weight of the lens on the D3 makes for a heavyweight combination.

    Outstanding Lens

    Posted by TESPhoto on February 20, 2011

    This lens exemplifies Nikon´s reputation for quality optics. Solidly built and sharp throughout the zoom range, this ´glass´ should be in every landscape photographer´s bag. I used this lens extensively this past fall when visiting Yosemite. The prints are spectacular and adorn the walls in my home. Pricey?...yes but worth every penny!

    Excellent

    This lens never lets me down! Great in tight spaces, interiors, low light and gives impressively sharp results through the whole zoom range.

    Film and Digital compatibility

    Posted by ExtremeWeatherPhotographer on November 11, 2010

    I was using this lens on the F5 and F6 with great results. When assignments require digital only, which is 99% of them now, there is no need to sell this lens for fear of poor image quality on a digital body. I´ve produced images for architects, books, editorial and private contracts with 5 different digital cameras and every time the results were extremely sharp and color correct. This was taken on assignment and used for a travel story in a national newspaper. D80 body, 1/50th, f2.8 at 19mm.

    Sharp and contrasty, my everyday lens.

    Posted by D700 Fan on August 14, 2010

    This is an excellent lens for landscapes, close ups or just walking around. Images are sharp and have plenty of contrast. My D700 has become my everyday camera and this quickly became my everyday lens for it. I kick myself for waiting so long to spring for it; don´t wait to treat yourself to great glass!

    West Wide walkround

    Posted by KyoshiNikon on August 6, 2010

    After trying this lens a year ago in my local camera store I knew I had to have it. About 2 months ago I purchased one and don´t regret it in the slightest. As a street/art photographer is my prime shooter and stays on my camera almost 24-7. Not only is the zoom range good but it is sharp across the whole range and across all the f-stops. I prefer it much over the new 16-35 f/4 (although not a bad lens) in particular for the f/2.8 it carries and the sharpness at all zoom ranges...

    My favorite and most used lens.

    Posted by TM on August 1, 2010

    This lens is the one that stays on the camera. It is absolutely my most used lenses. The images are phenomenal and tack sharp. Landscapes are great with this lens, but I also use it close in with none of the distortion found in lesser quality lenses.
