Tis a pretty dang good lens. I had one for my D90 a long time ago. I might have to get one for my D200!
Ah ah ah the oldie one! I bought it with my D300s. And Still alive on the D500. It was a pleasure to use. Robust, light, a certain character...
But I let it go to another photograher as I'm not using it often (replaced by sigma 18-35mm or nikon Z 35mm for Z serie).
