Truly Very Good Macro Glass
This 85mm f/3.5 lens is used with both my D80 and my D5100, mostly the latter.

Cons:
- -Camera shake is still present with handheld shots even with VR function

This is my first Macro lense & I love it
The best macro lense. Lightweight, strong construction. Stunning photos, beyond emagination, takes you from a beginner to a better photographer. Yes price matters.
Pros:
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Lightweight
- Strong Construction

Good
I have held off writing my review till I've had a chance to properly use it. Pro: Takes stunning indoor pictures of flowers! Especially on macro setting. Con: Focus is a bit annoying. It won't always focus on what you want it to focus on and it constantly tries to refocus.

Great value and very useful
I am a long time photo hobbyist and have owned a lot of great gear. I got one of these in the two lens special deal, the other being the great 35mm F/1.8DX. At first I was a little uncertain about this lens as I had seen some reviews that were not the best.

Great Lens, Great Condition
It may have been used and not in its original packaging, but you wouldn't know it from the lens itself. I can't find a single thing wrong with it! Not only is the lens a great macro prime lens, but the condition is fantastic.

Cheap body, great lens!
Just got the lens today and shot a few dozen macro shots and about 15 or 20 portraits. I love the optics! The body is pretty cheaply made, but the glass is excellent. Good weight as well.
Pros:
- Great picture quality
- Lightweight
