I bought it last year as my Christmas present. Pure magic. All the time. I shot a few hundreds today with it. This time on the D500. All with f/1.4. Too much holiday preparation and work on my house and a three hour good bye show at my daughter's Kindergarten kept me from even looking at the results. But my wife is just hitting the feathers and I could post some here. I paid 1865€ on 7 Dec 2016 shipped to my door by amazon.co.uk. no marketplace item. Amazon corporate. Genuine European stuff.

Do not buy this. Or your results might become  even better than they already are and we will all be ashamed of our mediocre utterings (bursting into laughter). It is just another piece of glass. Why get emotional?

The lens is from a real store, Nikon Spain original product. It is a big mall with locations all over the country that normally has a little more expensive items with excellent customer service. They have a summer sale. Non of the "pro" equipment enter the offer but this one.

   Airy, I´m sorry. 8) I will not lie. Don´t try it.

Airy, sorry to say, but the lens seems to be perfect for your current project.  (oh, I miss that emoticon of devil...)

A wonderful series of shots. Any complaints of this lens would just be nit-picking.  It seems comparable to the Zeiss 135/2.

Lovely shots.  With little or no performance falloff away from center, it looks like you can compose all the way to the sides while wide open. Very useful.
