  Tom,you are in the best position to know if you like
this lens. Shoot a test roll of chromes. Are they
sharp and contrasty enough? Do *you* like the lens?
The reason I say this is because of an interesting
experience back in the 70's (you know, the stone age)
At the camera store where I worked there were two avid
Nikon users, one was a bit of a snob who felt that
Nikon was GOD'S gift to photographers. The other was
an avid photographer who happened to use Nikon. The
snob felt that the 43 to 86 Nikkor zoom was a "coke
bottle" and Nikons biggest optical blunder. The other
guy just smiled and was a talented street shooter who
used this lens to great advantage. I was always a
little envious of this photographer's vision. So
gather your comments if you must, but in the
end...........do you like the lens?                
best regards,  John
