A really necessary purchase, glad I found this product.

After a standard lens, even 18-105, you will immediately feel the difference.
You can use the entire range of filters, because when adjusting for sharpness, the front of the lens does not rotate.
I chose as a travel lens between this model, Nikkor AF-S 50 / 1.4 and Nikkor AF-S 35 / 1.8. I can note that the first one, although made in China, is also of excellent quality, but it is too big in size, has a small viewing angle on the crop and, in my opinion, is a little expensive. The last one is more like a Toy. The quality is worse, the play of the sharpening ring, I came across instances with back focus.

Pros

Excellent and stable build quality. Made in Japan. When buying, I chose from three lenses, all three have accurate focus. Excellent color rendering, bokeh. Versatile, bright enough. Would recommend him as a regular. Compared to the standard AF-S Nikkkor 18-105, the same shooting modes result in a richer, more contrasting picture. Autofocus on my D90 feels no slower than with a standard lens. Small-sized. The sharpening ring is nicely rubberized.

Cons

The sharpening ring is unusually spinning, but you can get used to it, this is not a drawback.

With its pros. Great picture. Build quality without complaints. Luminous. Sharp already at open apertures. Fast autofocus. Its cons: Noisy compared to lenses with an ultrasonic motor.
