I'm thinking of buying this lens when it's available. What kind of experience have people been having?

I've heard it's a great dx lens. I wish they'd have made it f4 though, but I really want to test one.

Why would ou want it to be f/4? I would think you'd want it to be f/2.8.

Exceptional lens, better than the 18-200 or any other DX lens I've tried. It's extremely sharp!

My favorite DX walk around lens. Very sharp, focus perfect, and those few extra mm of wide are sooooo wonderful. Built very solid, and I too only wish Nikon would give us one in f/2.8 as well.

I recommend it highly. Best DX walk around lens on the market. Much better IQ than 18-200 IMHO. You'll love it!
