Canon offers similar lens with image stabilization for about 20% less.
By not offering image stabiliztion in-body, both Canon and Nikon extrorts permium each time you buy a lens. As far as this lens is concerned, for most users are better of with two fast primes and will be cheaper as well. Unfortunately, 50mm F1.4 is only Nikon prime that auto focuses on sub-D90 bodies. Current generation of Nikon bodies are best of the breed, but they don’t lens selection Canon offers.

I am using this lens with D2X but my pictures are strange. I check out the sample photos at [...].
Also all the pictures taken by this lens has same problems. Please see the sample pictures. Especially there is color distortion at the edge of the line of the people or buildings. Green lines or redlines or blue lines there - overlapping with the line of the subjects.
My photos are same. I think the lens itself has a problem of colors and sharpness. My other photos with other lenses with D2X are OK. But there is no other choice for DX format with f2.8 Wide Angle Zoom.

Absolutely love this lens. At the end of a wedding however, my arm did notice that is is heavier than the Tameron 2.8 17-55mm.

I had purchased this lens for my D200 Nikon. Although this is not a cheap product, I am very satisfied with the outcome.
