Very light, so form factor is great. I purchased the used version,  and not the latest. Decided to try the used first, before committing 600 dollars for the new.Why new, well the VR feature would be nice when hand holding. I prefer to to keep the ISO down and slow the exposure rate. I'll have to compare the lens someday at a camera store to my current lens for quality comparisons. The older one is prettty cheesy, but based upon the lens reviews, one of the all time bargain/quality lens. The verdict will be out for a bit on whether or not this lens holds the quality and can hold up to the D800 pixel count.</blockquote>
