the images that are produced are stunning
How is it photo ?
I just recieved my news lens on yesterday, four days before it was actually due to me and I am not currently in the USA so that was a great start for me.  This lens is great and the images that are produced are stunning.  The price is very good as well.  My friend purchase the more expensive lens and there is almost no difference in the image.  You really have to sit and stare at the images to really tell a difference.  During that time you can be out taking more photos.  Do your research and find what works for you and you could actually save yourself a lot of money and the long run.  Every photographer is different so go to your local photo store and test out the equipment and then make your choice.  The choice for me was right on with Nikon 85mm 1.8g AF-S.
