Cons: Soft when compared to prime lenses by "pixel peeping." Specifically, Nikon 85 f1.8, Nikon 24 f2.8 AI, Nikon 50 f1.8 and Nikon 28 f2.8. Comparison was done on D600, so subtle sharpness differences could be observed.

Pros: Versatile, used bargain. Compares favorably with other zooms, I am used to the performance of Leica lenses, and this lens suits me for general purpose shooting. Critical shots for big enlargements (above 16x20) need a prime lens.

Summary: A good (not great) walk around lens. I may buy the f4 version at some point.

Cons: This is certainly not a lens where sharp is critical. Heavy. Slow.

Pros: Brilliant useable range. Sturdy build.

Summary: A fair lens which is priced well. I use it for harsh conditions and where I can only carry the camera and no other gear.
