[QUOTE="Nikonitus, post: 90631, member: 10962"] When I first got it, with the D600, I was unsure about this lens. You see, a few years ago I had a 24-120mm with the D80 and D300 which gave some soft images and sometimes they looked unfocused or even a little blurry, mostly in the D300 but was excellent on the D80...
