Pros: All. Especially design, overall solidity and unique color rendition.

Cons: Nothing.

Opinion: Terrible power. Universal soldier. I tell you that these are the 'Top Three' from Nikon AF`s, equivalent and complementary: 50 f/1.8 MKI (1986-1990); 35-70 f/3.3-4.5 MKI (1986-1989) and 70-210 f/4 (1986-1987, 8 months only). As if from one series. Paradoxically low price and low popularity for the TOP. Really Out-of-Time!! Having all this, you can feel absolute satisfaction. ;] And no more need anything.

Pros: All

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: Purchased for nikon d 200 at 115 euros simply fantastic noise and af mentioned in the reviews are in my opinion (amateur photographer always almost eighty years old) decidedly irrelevant but I repeat very personal opinion lens that combined with a 10-20 allows me to cultivate even more this photographic passion of mine that does not require purchases triples the pension

Pros: But what do I need to list? Just look at the photos it takes...

Cons: Read above...

Opinion: Sometimes I really laugh, criticizing a lens designed and built almost 40 years ago is really crazy, according to my point of view of course. It is not an extremely simple lens to use, but if instead of listing its flaws such as, slow autofocus in poor light conditions or front lens that rotates, lack of VR... and so on and so forth... Maybe it would be the case to learn how to use it (maybe setting the camera to manual) seriously I mean, then it really gives beautiful photos, engraved, clean with excellent colors. I bought one for 100 sesterces and comparing it with my 70-200 vr 2.8 it's a bit below of course, but I think we can define a consequential logic. Someone wrote that a diaphragm 4 is a bit soft... Well even the 50 1.4 is almost "unusable" when wide open, so do we throw it away? Maybe we can learn to shoot at 8 or 11 by raising the shutter speed, maybe even using a tripod, why not? NO, now every 100-150 euro lens of the old generation is almost always used in P or A pose, etc... Then come the "mange" who knows why... look at the photos that Francesco D'ambrosio took for example, many are made at F4/4.5 in my opinion they are excellent, of course light right experience etc ... But the lens is always the one in question. But as I've written before, it's just a personal opinion... Luckily it's still free... Good job everyone.

Pros: Vintage rendering, sharpness, beautiful to use, internal zoom, fixed f4, I would say everything...

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: An old school lens made properly. Of course, it is not stabilized, it is not f2.8, it is not hypernitid... But they are not flaws. It is an optics, in my opinion, designed for portrait. At full aperture, at maximum focal length it is slightly soft, just enough to give the portrait a unique, poetic, vintage touch that I like very much. Aperture at f8 is very sharp. Precise focus. Bokeh gorgeous, uniform, pleasant, harmonious. So guys... a great lens. Vote 10.

Pros: Price, weight, f/4 fixed

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: It is a lens with a very good quality/price ratio. The quality of the images is excellent, certainly better than all the plastic canvases on the same price range and that do not have the f/4 diaphragm fixed. The weight is not high and the zoom mechanism is internal. Logically the af is not very fast, but it is precise.
