Wow, what a shit lens indeed! I didn´t expect miracles of course but this is real shit seeing its performance... Why does Nikon offers such rubbish yet..? It is just spoiling the brand reputation.
hey center resolution is ok and it handles flare! Surely it is 1 1/2 stars !

And if you remove the glass and seal it a little you could even drink coffee out of it. So let's make it 1.25pts. ;-)

Hmmm... 1 1/2 sun-glass-stars + 1.25 drinking-cup pts = 2.75 drinking-cup star-points.
This lens might be the link between the [url="http://www.thingsinmovies.com/the-staff-of-ra-in-raiders-of-the-lost-ark/"]Staff of Ra[/url] and the [url="http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/monty_python_and_the_holy_grail.jpg"]The Holy Grail[/url] ?
Will a test of the AF 17-35mm f2,8 follow soon?

I hope for that too. Really want to see how good/bad it is in comparison with the 16-35mm.
Sure, why not ...

Well, the scale goes from 1 star to 5 stars ... and this lens
has made it to one star. So, what does this really mean?
To me, I really prefer to have a one-star-lens, than no lens at all.
Long ago, in a travelling/backpacking holiday, I have been on a
street market / flea market, and saw a cheapo kit-zoom for my camera.
I would usually have never thought of buying such a lens, but as I
passed by, the thought "I have only one lens with me" popped into
my mind. Well, it was cheap, I bought it. Two days later, I dropped
my camera, and my lens was history. Now, you can imagine,
that this cheapo kit-zoom came really handy. I took a lot of images
with it ... some are visibly suffering from the quality (or the lack of it)
of the lens, others are quite good. Nevertheless, I would have come
home without images at all, without this lens (which was likely a
one-star lens as well). So, was this lens worth more than one star
to me? ... in that situation ... definately.
Just a sat'dy-morning thought ... Rainer
