Yep! I get similar results which is why I can't seem to part with it!
Makes a nice walk-around lens too.

When I first bought my N50....way back in 1997, I lusted for the 28-105mm, which came out a year later I think. I finally got one and I loved it. I sold it and my N80 (the N50 went some time ebfore it) when I got into digicams. I wish I hadn't sold it, because it was a fine lens.

Try one of the 1970-vintage 43-86's and you might change your mind
But seriously, you're right - even the Nikon lemons (35-80/f3.5-4.5?) are pretty decent in the optical category. And actually, there aren't many independent lenses any more that fail to meet some reasonable minimums. (Independent in this case means Sigma/Tamron/Tokina/Zeiss.)

The 28-105 is my baby and I'll never sell it. It was my first real lens purchase, and it gives me great results on my D50. Now if they'd make a 28-105 f/2.8...
Wow, nice!
Nice shots. I like hearing about underrated lenses.
Best source for purchasing a 28-1-5? New or used?

Actually I have been looking at this for an up coming trip. It will either be this one or a 24-120 VR. But I really like the idea of the 1/2 macro/
Another sleeper lens is the 35-105mm F3.5-4.5 AFD-push-pull. I use it at the beach all of the time and I also carry the 180mm F2.8AFD for a great outdoor combination.
I just picked up this lens last month from a cafe member here and I love it. So versatile. Great 'vacation' lens when you want to keep things lightweight.
This was the first AF lens that I purchased when I got my first N80. They both remain favorites. Superb value especially in today's market.
