I got this with my Nikon D300 when I bought it for literally no cash.
I really love this lens in so many aspects –
it's fast
it's sharp
it's dreamy bookeh
in low-light conditions
However, the hood is crap – it's got a huge plastic-feel to it plus that it falls off very easily after several times screwed on/off.
The focus-ring isn't that bad, but neither that good.
9.0 overall:
As of a 30mm ƒ/1.4 – you can't expect more to almost no money.
8.0 build quality:
It feels solid and metalish, however, the hood is a big negative aspect in my opinion.
10.0 price rating:
For the money, you'll be very happy and surprised!
Highly recommended for a semi-pro Nikon-body!
