    Perfect for indoor, low light photography. Read reviews online and checked couple of sites for performance and so far its living up to its name.

    My wife uses this lens constantly. Unfortunately, having it now wants me to buy more for her. Looks like we're in the market for the 70-200!

    If you have a Nikon FX Camera, you need this lens in your bag. It is lightweight and focuses fast. I find myself using this lens more and more.
