Got a mate who has one for his D3, and pretty much never has it off his camera and he takes piccies for a living!!
Said it was one of the best value lens' you can get and does produce very good images.

no i have read that.
but i would quite like to mess about with the manual focus [i do a bit with the kit lens]
and at that price i think it is a winner.

The camera will still tell you when it is focused though, the focus dot in the viewfinder still works just have to do the work yourself
