 Idea for lens hood July 11, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I picked one of these up off ebay, and really like it (I take mostly portraiture and abstracts, so I don't miss the wide-angle option on digital bodies.)
It came with a truly awful lens hood (the standard one), so I use the hood of my Nikon 85mm 1.8 and it works a treat. That might stop the flare
Great general lens January 3, 2008
This has been my overall general lens that I keep on my DSLR 90% of the time. It has exceptional IQ when used correctly -- there is softness at the extreme conditions (28, 3.5 and 105, 4.5) but only if you pixelpeep. At 5.6 with controlled ISO, you would be hard pressed to tell the difference between this $250 clens and those that cost 10x as much.
Highly recommended, save for the lack of AF-S (which is why I gave it 4 stars)
 all around good choice September 9, 2007
I use this lens on my D70 DSLR, I haven't used it with film.
This lens is great for wilderness-hiking or touristing/walking around the city. While the pictures are not as good as a dedicated lens, this jack of all trades almost never leaves my camera for day to day shots.
The 105mm (~150 on dslr) has allowed me to take great shots that are normally out of reach such as statues around town and animals in the distance.
The 28mm (~45) is wide enough for a nice landscape shot.
The Macro feature is great for insects or jewelery.
If you're just walking around, ready to take a picture of anything that comes up then this lens is a great choice.
I never use a flash and my low light pictures have turned out great despite the small aperture...so long as it's not a picture of a moving target (i.e. cat or child).
Great all-purpose lens for Nikon film or digital March 21, 2007

I have had this lens for about 3 years. It has never let me down - and it has an amazing macro range. I use this lens for portraits of models as well as nature close-ups. This lens was designed for film format cameras, so shooting it on a digital gives you the sweet spot of the lens circle covering the digital sensor. Highly recommended. The only negative thing I can think of about this lens is that I wish it was an f/2.8 aperture instead of f/3.5-4.5...
Very good lens September 24, 2006
I would recommend this lens to all D50-D80 users, for the price you get incredible sharp throughout its focal range, macro function is impressive. Also, it is very well constructed nice balance and very light.
