The item is average, not sure if it's worth the money.

The scope of this lens is short-range reporting, portrait in the interior. At aperture 4 and no longer interested in this lens and I would like anti-shake. But Nikon 16-35, 4 has anti-shake, and the angle is larger. And this is another optics. In principle, a good lens, but, taking into account the shortcomings, not the fundamental advantages, I easily replaced it with Nikon 24-85G, VR.
We are waiting for a new 24-70)), Kenon has already ated.
I expect negative ratings, but I'm used to thinking with my own head, and not looking at the top
I TRIED THE NEW 24-70 with VR and was upset, he won only in the anti-shake. All flaws remain.
Now 24 85G VR, 70 200 2.8 (this one is very good)), 16 35 4.0 VR are actively used.

Pros

Solid. Constant rel. bore. Sharp in the center, beautiful bokeh. Top like iPhone

Cons

Too many unfortunately: Not for landscapes with a horizon line: thinks along the edge to the right. Focus on a plane only at 50mm, on a wide one it is more of a focal sphere.) The long end is soapy. Of course, if aperture 4 is better, but we pay for working 2,8) There is no anti-shake, well, I knew that when I took it)) The rubber bands were swollen, removed, soaked in gasoline, dried, and put aside, and in their place I glued suede on self-adhesive) The zoom quickly began to jam. It’s good that he was able to disassemble and lubricate, but this is not for long . And I don’t want to a second time) it’s difficult. At 50mm, you need to cover the window with the distance scale with your hand, there is a flash (Nikon recognized this and eliminated it in the new ones with anti-shake)
