Opinion:
perfect glass, but extremely sharp at f1.8, bokeh perfect, the only small criticism of the fact that AF is a little slow, but this is a portrait glass and not for sport.
with this lens would give emphasis to chromatic aberrations are not just something to make more serious, or if we ignore the lens is very good as the FF and the body of the Crop
Opinion: Excellent for live music performances and theatre, both in bad light but where freezing action is necessary. Portraits, too, obviously. Bokeh is very good, best I've used myself. Handling is excellent on D7000, usable one handed, if needed. All plastics very high grade, making light but robust. SWM very fast and accurate. 67mm filters larger than the 62mm D lens that it supersedes. f16 min aperture only an issue in landscape work where DOF is needed, but not really a problem for its normal intended usage. Used recently at a winter wedding for candid shots in quite dark church and then at an even darker reception! Was shooting at 1/80 f1.8 iso 3200 and when I managed to get the manually focussed shots in perfect focus, the results were quite amazing. The professionals were using Canon 85mm L f1.2's and they were very impressed by the open aperture performance of this little Nikon - they were stopping their L f1.2's down to f2 as routine. One of the best lens purchases I've ever made. My score 10/10

Opinion:Bought a few hours ago, so I reserve the right to add future impressions. Incredibly sharp already at 1.8, brought to 2.8 becomes a razor. In very good light conditions the af is a sniper, but I have not yet got to test it in poorer light situations, and, anyway, the af module of the d600 is certainly not lightning
Opinion:It's an optics monster with any machine body. I tried it with lots of bodies, even the Nikon 1!!! and he always takes great photos! Considering the price, I find both Nikon's lens with the absolute best quality (without looking at 85 and 105 version 1.4 that cost 4/5 times as much). The only negative note is that you can't photograph anything closer than 90 cm and this makes it mandatory to keep the subject always away, whether human or landscape. Let's face it: buying it used with 300 euros you will have a PROFESSIONAL tool to try to express your creativity. I also did a review on youtube for this lens and I didn't change my mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBGLtmmN-iQ
Opinion:I find it hallucinating that this lens costs so little, I used it a lot and it has always given me beautiful images, the bokeh and the blur are fantastic and it is very usable at 1.8, vignette a little but I like it, the weight seems like a joke, when it arrived I thought they sent me the empty box. On the negative side surely the minimum distance of focus and a little suffering in the light, but not too much, if it did not have these things the 1.4 would not make sense to exist.
