[QUOTE="STM, post: 797537, member: 12827"] That is the thing about that lens, it has held its value very well. I paid just around 4 grand for it 5 years ago. All of the older Nikkor "fast glass" were the best on the planet when they were introduced and they still hold their own quite well against any of the newer lenses. I can actually resolve the hairs on a [I]gnat's butt [/I]at 200 meters with mine! Something that a number of people new to Nikon (post AIS and started in digital) don't know is that a lot of the "newer" lenses Nikon offers are simply repackaged AF versions of optical formulas that Nikon did years ago. When you have something that good, don't mess with it! [/QUOTE]
