just moved from Canon to Nikon D7000 and pair it with 24-70mm, love this lens so much, quick AF and sharp from center to border.
The downside only no VR (wish it had this feature on it) and heavy. overall it's very good lense

I was put a very high expectation for this lens as I was a bit hard to decide this lens or Tamron 17-50mm, however at the end I put my choice to this lens. I bought it online though.
First impression after out of the box was the build seems to be good, however at rear lens I found there was an open hole for dust to come in 
Now the test, first test at 17mm AF worked like charm, super fast and silent, step up to 24-30mm AF still worked perfect However the nightmare begun from 35mm above, the AF didn't work at all, hunt hunt hunt and hunt *sigh*
OS was really work.
IQ was really superb, sharp from center to border but soft at corner especially wide open.
At the end I decided to sell this lens
