Link doesn't work. You must be signed out to link to an Ebay auction. I can explain more if needed.

The reviews are definitely great. Cross my fingers it arrives as described. Looking forward to your results.

I have the even older D version of that lens. I paid $35 for it refurbished from Nikon itself at a Nikon Days event in 2003. I have used mine since then, and even though it is extremely cheap and plasticy, I have made quite a few good images with it... in fact I think I have two of them on my new phone

Here is an extreme crop from that same frame. Pretty good I think for a $35 lens from the early 1990s, when shot on a used Nikon D800.

For Sure... such a great deal... I hope mine will be okay with my D500.. thank you so much!! I am anxious ..

here is an extreme crop from the same shot. Pretty good detail resolution capability. This was shot on a Nikon D800, a 36- megapixel sensor. Pretty good I think, for an inexpensive 1990's kit lens.

I have used this lens for three or four portrait shoots, and when shot at F 7.1 or at f8, I have absolutely no qualms about making deep crops . even though this lens appears to be really cheap and wobbly, meaning the front extension wobbles quite a bit from side to side, the pictures seem to be Sharp. Yes the mount is made of ABS plastic, and yet, the pictures are quite good...

 

[Derrel]

Yeah the lens shoots pretty darn good for a plastic mount, wobbly Barrel Zoom.

So when I get mine I should expect a little wobble ... I do not mind cropping either if I can get such clarity and intense natural color..and focus as these photos of yours..i mean they are wow ,,,,for an old lens a double wow! Thank you Darrel..so glad I choose this lens and will post some photos when I get it..

I bought an older 35-105 mm Nikon lens a couple months ago. I paid $41.00 for it. It is one of my favorite lenses.
