[QUOTE="Old Deep Sea Diver, post: 301403, member: 16956"] I have a Nikon D800E and bought one of these NIB for about $110 plus tax - great little lens, fast focus and sharp, and for a 100 bucks you can't go wrong. the F4 was 3 times that much, and there isn't any discernable quality difference. Plus I bought a BR2a reversing ring and the shots are amazing. Nothing like a 3K body and a 100 lens to irritate the photo snobs :). recently bought a 200mm F4 1:4D NIB for learning macro, but reversing lenses is still more fun with some amazing results. If you get a reversing ring for this lens, or to resurrect some old glass, get the nikon BR2a , as the br2 will destroy the contacts, and can be used safely on all the cameras, and don't cheap out for a plastic one or some off make, i have seen several lenses damaged due to this. It's only about 50 bucks too! Sent from my SM-P900 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
