Excellent Choice for a Walk-Around Lens When Nikon released this lens, most of the websites called it a nice consumer-grade lens, but a lens that was unsuitable for a D800/D800E. For Nikon since the mid-2000s, FX zoom lenses have been notorious for their compromises.

The stars at the corners of the frame on my FX camera look as good as the stars near the center of the frame.
