Nice product, happy with my purchase and may buy again.

I bought it for the D810, and it works with it. After Tokinovsky with a motor, it is very quiet. There was only one lens with indistinct focus in the store (those were the hot days of December :)) , which I was afraid to take. In the evening they called back, they said that they brought a couple more, came, tried it, took it. The lens is very sharp within the RIP, but as one lady very aptly noted, the RIP is not always where you expect. It focuses either instantly and accurately, or chews on space and an object, after which it seems to be aimed, in fact, not quite there. The fact that he is not for a quick report is a plus. From the first corporate party, 15% of the photos were scrapped. Perhaps (I really hope) it is due to insufficient experience, before that I shot on the D7000 + tokina 50-135, it was somehow easier to get into focus there. When shooting from a tripod, slowly with the ability to make several takes, sharpness and focus are satisfactory. My live view instance works fine. Color reproduction is acceptable to me. Didn't notice any vignetting. I completed from 22.052022 - figured out the focus settings (in the camera), focusing became faster and clearer.

Pros
  • - optical qualities - quality of materials and workmanship - quiet autofocus - adequate price
Cons
  • - no dust protection - oddities in the autofocus -rubberized focusing ring has a very small trim that tends to get clogged with dirt.
