I really did not expect this guy to perform as well as it did compared to the A1 Mark II.

This lens surprised me in every aspect except for the weight.
So this is a fantastic lens and I was really happy and thank you Bill so much for letting me borrow this lens.
Yes, in 2025 I that camera still holds its own, holds its weight. I think it's still a great camera in 2025, even with all the other cameras that came along for the price it's at, the specs you get in it, it really can't be beat.
I think it does really good with this setup.
This lens for the price has been fantastic for me. I love it, it's a good, good lens.
[T]he camera performed really well.
Even better for travel lens, really, really good. If you shoot birds and you want to shoot some landscape type stuff or family and friends, really, really good.
Very good lens, has some tradeoffs, has some quirks to it, but what lens doesn't? [...]
So my recommendation on this camera, it's a great camera. If you're in the market, if you're a Nikon shooter and you're in the market for a pro-line camera, this thing can't be beat.
It's a great camera, it's a phenomenal camera.
What's my verdict and final say on this camera for the price range and where it sits, it's a great camera.
