Agreed. I've had mine for little over a year and I use it more than any zoom lens I've ever had. It's that good. It's a Swiss Army knife of a lens. It does many things very very well when a prime ...

Camera app would still be loading. :-)

Most people would be running for the doors, some people would soiling themselves, a smart phone would still be focusing or loading the camera app after swiping right. Here is a journalist with a...

@Mared. You missed my point. It's not a heavy lens.

Lol. Compared to what? Other 105 1.4's?

You're gonna need a bigger stocking.

PS is great for the one off image. But not when you might have hundreds. Or even consistency from one to the next. Sometimes easy repeatiblitiy in camera and speeding up your work flow is far far...

It was a small chapel. You assume I own a 135 and 200mm prime lens or even a 2.8 zoom lens. Sure, a portrait is nice, but out of context as a stand alone image. Internet compression has a way of ...

I've had this lens from the beginning. It's amazing. It's a slower time of wedding season so I helped another photog friend as a second angle this past Saturday. I was off in the wings this time. ...

I won't reply with a number, but I will say that's about an X1D and a couple of lenses. :-)  Sorry

So many people wishing for the death of a North American company and then wondering why there are no jobs. Apple was in worse condition in 1999. Now look. Secretaries with stock options are...

I've had this for about a year now and its a gem of a lens. Picked it up used but in new condition or $89. Series E was Nikon's econoline in the 80's. Econo on build but not optics. What's funny ...

Whatever you're smoking must be really potent.

Hey @dpreview, Nikon has come out to flattly deny this report. You should update your post.

Sorry :-)  Sold, long ago.

At 19mm there isn't a big difference or benefit to be 2.8. Size and cost would be much more. But as far as DOF etc, this is not the lens for that. As a technical lens, you can make f/8 look like...

Mmmm, 7 years since the 70-200VRII. And there were 10 years between 70-200 VRI & II. This is a flaghship lens for Nikon. It typically has the best of current tech in it. And I speculate that the E...

Fantastic lens. Finally caught up with the independant tilting and shifting. Price, not so much. But if you need it, you need it and will probably pay for itself quickly. Bravo Nikon!

By then, 20 mp FF sensors from 2015 will be in the cameras. :-)

Oh how spoiled we've become. Lol. I mean no harm. I bought my first DSLR in 2006 and all it did was take pictures. Now we can take 4K video underwater and put the camera in our pocket. Good times.
