Do you need one? August 15, 2008

This is a great lens - it`s as sharp as it gets, has no distortions, focuses down to 1:1, it`s fast and does beautiful bokeh.
However, there are some cons - it is heavy and has minor focusing problems when in low light (on my d40x - can`t say for other models). The VR is great, but also intended for objects 3m or more away. Under that, it gradually loses stability.
Consider also it is a prime lens, meaning, there is no zoom. You will probably need to carry around additional lens if you don`t want to miss a shot. This is a must have lens for portrait and macro photography. However, if you plan on making tourist shots, cut on the bokeh and get the all-round 18-200mm. It`s slower (f3.5-5.6), but far more practical and somewhat cheaper. You can`t miss with either one. Good luck!

I received this lens in very good shape and have used this on about 30 pictures and the resolution is great. I can hold the camera in my handsfor sevral pictures but it works best to use a tripod for very steady pictures as I like very close up images. It can be used for portraits and close ups as it has a very narrow viewing angle and I go to the zoom lens for the rest. I used a Nikon D200 for these pictures

A good lens, but save your dollars and buy the older model, or the Tamron 90 macro. VR does not work up close, and that's the selling point of this lens. If you have to go manual for a macro shot, any of the other macros will suffice. I recently sold mine on ebay as I found that my Tamron 90 macro was just as sharp!! At half the price!!! Also, the 18-200 Nikon offers very good basic macro, and is much more of an all around lens!!

This excellent MACRO or MICRO or Portrait lens, opens up a field of photo opps that is new to this photographer.
Flowers, insects and miniatures, to name a few. The depth of field is close to an inch when needed. The VR makes handheld shots in the field. The two range limiters are helpful.
The lens is larger and heavier than I expected, but so is versatility better than I expected.

I love this lens, if you love to shoot close up and want a great lens you won't go wrong with this one.
It has become my favorite.
