I did not regret the purchase, everything is fine.

Goes like a whale. I have a kit with Nikon D5600.
Usually whale lenses act as plugs, "if only it were", but then, suddenly, it turned out that the lens could very well show something decent.
By itself, the D5600 carcass is a bit dark, and with this whale I rarely expose less than 800 ISO, but in good lighting it gives a very clear picture.
Older cameras may require firmware to support AF-P lenses as there are no additional controls on this one, just the focus, zoom, and lens park buttons. Switching the focus mode and stabilizer ONLY from the carcass. Very old cameras do not support AF-P lenses.
For details and examples of photos, it is better to read the article, for example, from Radozhiva.

Pros

Very fast, grippy and silent autofocus (on supported cameras) thanks to new focus motor A very nice focus ring - it's a pleasure to twist it just like that))) Gives a good image, a head or two better than older whales No back/front focus (tested on D5600, D610, Df)

Cons

Dark but tolerable Aperture above f / 7.1 should be used with caution, because. can somewhat spoil the picture with aberrations. Operating range 3.5-7.1 But for this amount, it's already nit-picking.
