Very impressive

Funny how it just went up $50 on Amazon. But just the Nikon version.

Anyone buying this lens? I am just curious but I'm not sure if it is something that would get a lot of use from me. Some of my lenses are already mad at me since they don't get much action.

I don't know. I've got a 28 & 50mm 1.8, so I wonder myself just how much use it would get. But if I were to drop the zoom from my bag I can see needing a 35mm, so it would get serious consideration. Just not any time soon.

It looks great if you are after that length. Wouldn't really fit in my lineup either at this point, I've never felt at a loss between 28 and 50mm. The legs are enough to zoom between those two.

Anyone else picked up this lens?

I have one. Got it in July. Thing is a beast on my d600/800. Compliments my 85mm

Sounds like a great lens! But though I've become a big fan of primes, it may be quite a while before I can add lenses to my collect that cost that much. Saving for the D600 is my top priority, unless the lenses are much cheaper anyway! Lol

Imported to LR then exported to JPEG no edits done. f/8 Matrix Meter no sure on shutter off the top of my head


This one was played with a little


Im no pro so plz dont critique me like one :-D

Nice and sharp!

This lens and the focus fine-tuning/firmware dock is looking like my 50th birthday present next month

I took the plunge today and ordered this lens. It will replace my 28 (the new Nikon 18-35g is very good at 28) and 50 (not used much). This will be my first third party lens. I'll post some results in a week or so . Now the hideously long and painful wait!

You will not be dissappointed.

I was disappointed when I decided to order that BH and Adorama are both closed and not shipping until the end of the month due to a religious holiday. I've never ordered a lens from Amazon, so this is a first also.

Amazon is good just like B&H. Looking forward to seeing some samples.

That's good to know, Hopefully I have timed the order and my days off in sync

I just ordered a Tamron 70-200 f/2.8 USD VC from them. I've had zero problems from Amazon and B&H.
