A lack of excitement about the 18-35 3.5-4.5?

Interesting; I've never seen it referred to as "one of the worst lenses Nikon has ever made."

Thom Hogan generally seemed very favorably disposed toward this lens, ans did Bjorn. It seems to suffer significantly on FX...but so do a number of older Nikkors (I traded in my 35mm f/2d because I found the FX performance so underwhelming, despite loving that lens on DX).

I think, done right, this could be a very appealing lens. I'm somewhat excited...
