IntroductionJanuary 2007 A big surprise when it was introduced, featuring ED-IF AF-S in a consumer lens, many thought this was just another plastic unusable lens. This lens actually works allot better then what it costs. Giving you sharp images, and featuring 1 ED element, IF and AF-S, for fast focusing. SpecificationsLens Construction: 15 Elements in 12 groups (1 ED) Picture Angle: 84° 30-28° 30 (35mm format) Filter Size: 67mm. Nikon Lens Hood: HB-28. Included Accessories: HB-28 hood, 67mm lens cap, rear cap. Size and weight: 2.9 x 2.9in, 14.3 oz (415 g). Diaphragm: 7 Blades. price from: $ discontinued Manufacturers web site: www.nikon.com Positives
Drawbacks
VerdictThis lens is highly recommendable, It is a better lens on a FF camera then a DX, But still it is usable. Second hand you probably want to stay clear of this lens. Get one of these lenses new, and you get yourself a cheap but good lens. Only major drawback will be the variable aperture.
