I know, I like my 28-75mm....I have used it a lot with much satisfaction.

I recently purchased the latest version of this lens and I'm truly impressed by the results on my D600! It is razor sharp at all focal lengths, AF is crisp and fast. For the price ($499) I think it's the functional match to the far more costly Nikon equivalent FX lens.

I bought this lens from Amazon along with the Nikon D7100. While very clear at all zoom ranges, it has a terrible time getting autofocus lock. Any suggestions or do I have a defect. i have tried all autofocus settings except spot.
