Andy, can you put the picture of this lens next to a 180 2.8 af-d...?
Sorry, no.
As written above, I had to give back the lens.
General availability is scheduled for end of November.

thx a lot for the info and examples. From the pics here, and other seen elsewhere, it seems to me, that if this lens has a flaw, it would be, that it is not quite as sharp in close ups as in other situations. Is this also your impression or am I seeing differences not really there?
Take my view as a preliminary view, as it wasn't that much time to check all aspects.
Any lens sharpness assessment should be done from pictures taken with a tripod. I didn't have a tripod with me for the first few shots

Here are 2 images with the D800E and the lens set at f4. Distance about 40 meters. WIth my small travel tripod (Gitzo Traveller QR5). I did only one attempt per image, nothing fancy.

I really look forward to use this lens on a sunny and brighter day
