Pros: Defocus Control
Cons: expensive (relative off course) , slightly slower focusing

Used this for last 2 years and it strike out as a talented piece of glassware. Possibly the only Nikon which have an adjustable image defocus control, it open up new areas of creativity. The control was fun to use and you can have hours of experimentation. It also a competent portrait lense when open wide @ f2. It still come with aperture ring and old schoolers will be glad to fiddle with this.

This is an awesome lense with great built quality (metal body with nice coated outsides) and ruggedly made in Japan. Possible drawback is slightly slower focusing action (compared to newer nikon, kinda expected actually)

If you wanna something off the wall, this is it. It will keep you interested for many years to come. I know I am.

For technical details, can refer to many technical site.

My feedback as a user is that, I am glad I have the courage to buy this lense. Looks like another keeper for me.
