Whoever writes here about the shortcomings of this Nikkor, it is still the best offer to start, given its cost. The lens is very specific - it shows itself perfectly on the street or in rooms with large windows during the day. It is categorically not suitable for shooting indoors with evening lighting - to synchronize the backlight from an external flash and your own lighting of the environment, while achieving the correct exposure is very difficult, and sometimes impossible. Often he lacks sharpness - the already not very open aperture, he has to cover up to 7-16. It appeared to me first, but more than relevant, however, recently this lens has been worn very rarely - only for solving certain problems. My photos taken with this lens on the d5100: https://www.
