[QUOTE="Photowyzard, post: 568424, member: 8344"] This is, in fact, an awesome lens. I have seen it in use and the IQ on it is amazing. What is more amazing is, when you compare the price to the Nikon 24-70 f2.8G. Don't even think of looking at the price of the f2.8G VR!! Nikon are out of their minds. I have compared the images to the non VR and they are close enough. A great value lens. As for my own personal WANT LENS, I think I would like a Nikon 600mm f4E FL ED VR..... BUT ... unless I win the lottery, I am NOT giving Nikon $16,000. Sooooorry! If I am desperate, I can always use my Tamron 150-600mm. Not as sharp, but an excellent lens non the less. BTW, you might want to check out the [URL="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1084645-REG/tokina_at_x_24_70mm_f_2_8_pro.html/BI/2446/KBID/3285"]Tokina AT-X 24-70mm f/2.8 PRO FX lens[/URL].... rated slightly better than all of them by DXO Labs.
