The first thing that I wanted to test was the legendary Bokeh of this lens owing not only to its fast aperture of f/2, but also a feature that has not been fitted to a Nikon lens since the 135mm f/2 and its little brother the 105mm f/2: Nikon calls it Defocus Control. So what happens when this lens is put to task? Besides, I’ve never had a client complain because my lens looked funny. It is a dated looking lens, but who really cares? It's solid and should stand up to whatever you throw at it. It is also quite prone to sticking if you don’t push it back in properly.
The attached metal hood is also quite nice, although it makes it difficult to attach/remove the lens cap when it is out. It weighted nicely and its all-metal construction means it feels solid. That being said, it’s quite compact for a telephoto. That exclamation was quickly followed by “Wow this lens looks old!” That may sound harsh, but the lens is nearly 25 years old and Nikon has done quite a lot of updating to the outward appearance of its other lenses since then. My first impression of this lens when I pulled it out of it’s box was “Wow, that front element is massive!” The 72mm filter size makes quite an impression.
