This lens is by far the best bang for the buck offered by Nikon. This is my favorite lens and is virtually glued to my D80. The DOF is super thin at 1.8 and the sharpness is amazing, even wide open. The speed of the lens really great and opens up a lot of indoor and low light shooting opportunities, especially when flash is not allowed or inappropriate.

I recently purchased this lens based on other reviewers. It is a great lens for a great price. It does have limitations as far as tight spaces/indoors. I have used it nonstop for kids, portraits, outdoors, etc. The pictures are razor sharp and I am not disappointed.
