Whoa, it's a good price if it comes with 0% interest installment.

Anyway the pics are impressive - clean edges (mostly) even at 1/10sec handheld.

Cool ...

I am very much interested with this lens also, so I guess I need to part ways with my 24-85mm G.

CP just quoted me now thru the phone for the 24-120mm VR for $980, after discount.

I want, I want!!!

Got my 12-24 last week. Have not used it yet! Paid less than $1.7k for it. Go shop around the Peninsular area, I am sure a good price can be obtained.

Serving off SCV network huh? Better read your terms & conditions well... better not let them see, if not they have rights to terminate you.

I hate G-lens. I still prefer the aperture on the barrel of the lens. Hate to control it electronically. But guess Nikon is getting "influenced" by Canon lor ...

I have been looking for this lens for some time now ... to upgrade my 28-80 regular. Also, the Nikon 24-120 VR and Canon 28-135 IS are much lighter and smaller than lenses like the Nikon 28-70/2.8 and Canon 24-70/2.8L.

After your feed back I think I should get one asap.

I read some feed back ... but couldn't find any detailed analysis.
