Fantastic lens. Extremely sharp
This is my first lens that I bought after i got my D90 kit. Truly worth every penny. The lens is amazingly sharp. The DOF at f2.8 is so shallow that sometimes its hard to get everything in view. The bokeh is also nice and adds a beautiful effect to the photograph. Overall, totally worth to get this lens. Also works as a fantastic potrait lens. Only problem is it is extremely sensitive to "vibrations". Tripod use is highly recommended with this lens. OR get the slightly more expensive newer VR version.

GREAT LENSE
This lense is awesome, I am a novice photographer, just like to take picktures of bugs and flowers. I got this lense for this purpose and it was AMAZING. The sharpness was uncanny and the color was so vibrant, makes me look at every day objects and in a totally different way.

Super sharp lens for portraits & macro
This is the best non-zoom lens that i ever had; it is incredibly sharp for both portrait as well as macro photography, making it a very useful multi-purpose lens for any serious photographer

sharp and solid
This lens surprises. I thought that it might not have sufficient working distance, but that has not been a problem at all. The lens is sharp, and I find the focus speed surprisingly quick ( for a macro lens) and sure (also for a macro lens). I like its recessed front element and its solid build. I use a Nikon NC filter on the lens to keep the front clean, as the ridges there would make it difficult to get dirt out. I don't use a hood here because the front element is so deeply recessed.
The images I get are very sharp, and I like their quality. The lens isn't like a normal F2.8; the aperture varies in close focus, so you'll need to have good light for those close shots. If you do, you'll be amazed with the results.

Answer:
This lens will work but will not autofocud, it does not a a built in focus motor so a camera with a focus motor is required. Your camera does not have this feature so you need lenses designated AF-S

What is the difference between DX and FX? Can each be used with any camera?

Answer:
FX lenses can be used on either FX or DX cameras. DX lenses are intended for use only on DX cameras. FX cameras have a larger imaging sensor than DX cameras which generally translates into lower noise images at high ISO's.
I'm not sure if this is something I need to send the lens in for repair for. When attached to the D700, the f-stop range displayed on the D700 shows f3.2 to f36, instead of f2.8 to f32. Everything else seems to be working normally and the images are crisp and clear. Fantastic images!

Answer:
The best resolution that I get with this lens is at F/5., F/6/ 8 F/&11. Before and after these stops the resolution drops down when using my Nikon D800E. The loss in resolution is worse beyond F/11 that it is at the wider F/stops because of diffraction. I would avoid using the F/stops that you are using so as to get better resolution. This presents little problems if you are photographing flat art work because the depth of field requirements are less than those of, say, sculpture.Jul 12, 2012 by
