    Perfect for my d7500. I had to travel to a few different locations to get it but it was worth the drive. The quality is what you can expect for a Nikon camera.

    I love the bokeh this lens produces. It is very noisy though if you plan on using for video with auto focus on. So if you use it for video turn off auto focus. Great for photos tho!! Must have for your lens collection.

    Great lens for what it is designed to do. It will be a great addition to capture those pictures at a specific range. Wish the price was lower. We have put alot of money into our cameras.
