The package came earlier than expected! I've been using this for about a week now and have experienced quite a bit myself. My concerns from other reviewers and reality: Concerns: Lightweight and cheap plastic: I'm as comfortable with this as I am with any other Nikon lens. To be honest, no problem. Concerns: Quality differences: I've taken a lot of low light shots so far and they all look amazing (tomato, tomoto), don't they? Concerns: Louder AF: Honestly, this thing is a lot quieter and smoother than my other Nikon lens. I was impressed. Concerns: Sticky focus ring: The rubber grip is great, rotates in a silky motion and gets the job done really well. To be honest this lens is fantastic and I'm having a blast with it. I would very much like to buy this lens again and I want to get their 35mm version for Nikon. I'm thoroughly impressed and you can't go wrong with this lens.
