Just got it tonight; unfortunately it was too dark to mess with it. I was not planning on buying it but couldn't pass up the deal. The lens was $399 but marked down to $300 because the lens hood had some apart. Nikon didn't properly attach the outer face that keeps all the springies in place for putting the hood on and off the lens. So a quick reassembly, a little epoxy, and I got a $100 discount and a new lens. Again, not a lens I was shopping for but couldn't pass up a $100 discount.
