how is the lens?
im thinking to buy it, but its a little expensive, should i go for it?

The lens is wonderful. Haven't taken it off my D70 since I got it. Here's a tip, check your local camera shops to see if they have one in stock. They are backordered all over the internet but I found one locally and saved about $150 off what they are going for on eBay and other online vendors.

The lens is very sharp and I can hand hold with success down to 1/8 of a second. The range is fabulous as I can go from wide angle to telephoto in one quick motion.

iKitten, thanks and I love the flowering cactus. Nice catch!

You know why they are backordering?

Usually stuff is backordered, now correct me if I'm wrong, when more of an item is ordered than there is available. Just a guess.

You are correct, sir! For some reason, Nikon hasn't ramped up production on this lens.

That's so cool, vlux1! On your way home... do you walk/bike?
