Brilliant! Not much else to say.

|
Cons:

It's BIG & Heavy! The lens hood seems to be too easily knocked off and it is difficult to place in the storage mode (backwards on the lens).

I thought this lens was good on my D200 but on the D3 it is stellar! Focus is very fast and tack sharp. The VR function is excellent.
I love it on my D3 for portraits. It's just a beautiful lens.

I have been a Nikon shooter all my life. Started with a Nikkormat FT. The D3 is by far, and I mean By Far, the best camera they have every made. (But I did not own an F4 which was an outstanding camera).
I came to the D3 from a D200. What an easy transition. This camera is really very easy to get to know if you have been shooting Nikon. A different story for Canon shooters switching though.
The image quality is amazing! Shadow detail is unbelievable. Is it worth $5,000? Absolutely!
Finally Nikon listened and got it right!!

Build quality is superb. Image quality is outstanding. Very sharp, great contrast.

A little heavy so if you are sensitive to that this lens is not for you.

I use this lens on a D200. It is a good match for the resolving power of the camera. I use it for street and portrait photography and love it.
The weight is very noticable. It's not called "The Beast" for nothing!...LOL It may not ballance well on a D80 or D40x. A Tamron may be better suited for the smaller cameras.
Image quality is superb. I am actually stunned at the quality. I did not believe a zoom could achieve this level of IQ. I highly recommend this lens to any serious amature. The pros have known about it for years.
