Cons: - heavy!
Pros: - optical quality! It is damn sharp - has a great Bokeh - f/2.8
Summary: I bought it together with a tripod adaptor, so now I can use this lens for almost any purpose. It sure is heavy, but it delivers great quality. The quality at f/2.8 is good and it gets even better when you stop it down.

Summary: A great lens if you have a pro-body, for half the price of a 70-200 AFS.

Cons: Very very heavy. It is difficult to take sharp images due to the constant shaking, a result of having to deal with the massive1.3kg. The AF is not as fast as the one bundled with AF-S lenses but it is enough to me (not a sport or bird shooter). The focus limiter button popped out during the use, it turned out that nikon does not use screws to fixate them, they use glue!! My specimen has a huge amount of lateral CAs, I think that it is a flaw of my lens (only).
Pros: Excelent sharpness in the center, very good in the borders, f/2.8 alows good use of DOF. Very Good metal construction (the apperture ring, in my opinion, could be made of metal instead of a cheap looking plastic).
Summary: Very good quality/price ratio, top quality image, good construction but dificult to use due to the massive weight.

Cons: very heavy. "Pump" model cannot receive tripod collar. AF (on pump model) is not very fast, and a bit noisy.
Pros: Fast lens, very high optical quality at least in 80-135mm range, a bit less, maybe, under certain conditions (200mm, corners at short distance) but still very good. Excellent lens for portrait (good "bokeh"). Maybe the sharpest lens I have ever experienced around 135mm.
Summary: I have bought the "pump" zoom version (older, same optical formula). Looks like new - and indestructible. My favorite portrait lens, also good at many other things.

Cons: AF's not a rocket ship, but on a D300 no slouch either! That's all mind.
Pros: Lovely optics, build quality.
Summary: Love this lens, sharp @ f/2.8, great bokeh, accurate AF. Great value. Would love the AF-S version which is meant to be better but cannot justify the significant additional investment for just faster AF.
