I think it’s one of Nikon’s sharpest. I have been tempted to get the earlier model that doesn’t have AF, they say it’s as good optically, I rarely use AF with mine, I have read where the non-AF one is nicer to manually focus. But this one is doing the job for me, and I already have more lenses than I use.^ That is a super sharp lens!
I am trying to train him to do tricks as wellI like your trained spider ! He does nice poses for you.
Now you just have to decide, get it fixed or buy another one that already works. So parts must be still available for it I guess.OK - I called - to fix = $130. plus parts. - I love this lens - I didn't expect to love it … !
Good stuff Larry, Ive been lusting after a Sigma 70 f2.8 macro, they have a good reputation and I think that focal length would suit what I do, just need to find one at the right price.OK Brad and everyone - got another Nikon AF 55mm f2.8 macro on the way ! And to boot - also a Sigma 90mm f2.8
It's a happy day !
Larry
