Small excellent craftsmanship telephoto lens for close-up photography, macro, but also the portrait and why not, the landscape. Fast, accurate, silent MAP (especially D800), exceptional sharpness, effective VR. It has not changed since 2006 and remains a "must do" brand. This shows its reliability and expertise Nikon. The only gripe we can do it is its weight, the latter being the consequence of an exceptional build quality and materials. It is not a goal to do everything of course, but it deserves a place reserved in the camera bag all nikoniste.
