Pros:
|
Size, weight, cost.
|
|
Cons:
|
Image quality wide open is shocking. Anything wider than 2.8 is unuseable on my copy of this lens.

I may have a bad copy, but there is so much ghosting of the image wide open that it is unuseable. I have just returned it to Nikon UK to see if they can do anything with it.
I have also seen the same effect on my 35-70 before I got rid of it, so I hope it is not a "feature".

I feel I must have a different lens than some of the others here.
Mine is pin sharp at all focal lengths and has become my most used lens.
I have tested it wide open against my 35-70 2.8 and my 50mm prime. I can see a slight difference against the prime and none against the 35-70.
Possibly relevant is that it is much much better than either lens when all are shot wide open.
All in all a great little lens.
