I have this lens. For the money its a superb choice. Incredibly sharp images can be obtained with this lens with excellent technique. Its a "relatively" heavy lens. So technique is a must or you will get soft images. I have seen images which are as sharp as a $10,000 500mm f/4 lens made with this lens. But you are not going to get the hit rate or nearly as good a bokeh as you would with an f/4 or f/2.8 prime costing 8-10x as much. I've seen this lens on sale from Nikon at this price, but I think it was a refurbished version. At any rate, the price here is as low as it gets. If its Nikon authorized and you get the 5 year warranty, its worth it.

DVDMikeFYI, if this is considered Grey market, you may not be able to get it serviced by Nikon even if you pay for it. Better to get a Nikon refurbished one with a 90 warranty than getting an unserviceable lens.
