Focus breathing usually occurs on the closest distances of the bigger end. This lens is an all around lens meaning "a little bit of everything but nothing perfectly". ;) But if you care for focus...

I think it should be compared to Nikon 18-300, not the 80-400.

Why would you like a newer lens for an older body? The Tamron 70-300 VC is on par with Nikon 70-300 VR and both perform greatly on 12-16mp sensor cameras. Why pay more for resolution older cameras...

I don't know about the rest of the world but here in Israel sales of Pentax cameras goes extremely bad. From the beginning of the year the store I work in has sold only one body with a couple of...

rdupre, is there at least a Fujifilm tilt-shift lens? Put aside the twist movement.

$10 for the final product is reasonable, but a beta version should be free.

It could be a "rebranded" Yongnuo 50mm f/1.8 that looks VERY similar to the Canon lens in question.

Once I used the GREAT GREAT GREAT 70-200 2.8 for studio photography. However, 1.5m minimum focusing distance made me crop heavily for newborn/pet studio photography.  Now this is my perfect studio ...

#6 reminds me of Cerebro from the X-Men world :)

Interestingly, most pictures if not all were not made with Nikon lenses. I don't get why would Nikon make such a competition if they don't produce neither lenses with more than a life size...

I checked later they don't look sharp in the text of the review but are ok when opened separately in a new tab.

Oddly all pictures in this review don't look sharp on my screen (1280x720).

They are feeding us crap!

I hoped for an incredible sharpness and lovely bokeh. I see only the lovely bokeh and not very nice CAs. I feel sad.

DamianFI, one D2 offers more power than even 4 speedlites but still this set up it's too complicated. A working pro prefers to pay more to ease his workflow.
