Hi all,

I've just picked up one of these for a very reasonable price (£40 or $60)

I can see a few reviews online, mostly favourable. Has anyone got any personal experience with this older lens?

I'm going to be using on a D700

I don't have this lens but am almost certain of it being very good if it's clean and clear...I have the 28-70mm AF-S F2.8..Great...And the 28-85mm AF F3.5-4.5

Wow that's a great deal!

Please let me know how it works out for you! I just ordered mine for $100 on eBay although I'd much rather pay $60.

​Can't wait to hear what you have to say!

It's a very good lens. I've taken about 200 shots and it hasn't missed a beat.

That being said, I have found it to be a tad soft wide open. We all know that lenses are best at f8 and I've found it to be truer on this lens than others I've tried.

If you needed a walkabout lens though and were happy at f8; I could definitely recommend this one.
