Then I'll be keeping my eyes out for one. I didn't know Rockwell had
reviewed it. Hell, I'd probably trust his reviews even more than those
from
folks in the group, except you and Reggie of course! Thanks for bringing
Rockwell's review to my attention.


I read a lot of posts from people that don't have much good to say about
Rockwell. I've heard it said that there's never been a piece of Nikon gear
that he didn't get giddy about. I don't know. I haven't followed him that
long. But I will immediately concede that he knows way more about this
stuff than I do.

But here's another guy's opinion, and I really do think this guy's got it
together. I bought Thom Hogan's D70 eBook shortly after buying my D70, and
I found it highly valuable. Here's his review of the lens.

I also bought his book for the D70 - much better written than the D70
manual and full of valuable insights into the operation of the camera. I
really appreciate the web site. Now I can order his D200 book.

Thanks!
