I just used this lens for a wedding. Sharper than the VR edition. EXCELLENT AF and rendition. Will focus in almost darkness. D750

Life isn't fair sometimes. Pics taken a couple of months ago. The bride's father passed away 2 weeks before the wedding.

On the Nikon USA website, there are NINETY, 90, big Nine-Zero DSLR lenses still for sale. The marketing approach, although effective, is like scaring people about climate change. NOT ONE RUMOR has come true. Nikon can force us eventually if they want just like the US government can force us to buy Tesla's. That said, in 2010, 12 years ago, Sony brings out a mirrorless with interchangeable lens. That year, I meet a photographer doing a location family photoshoot using the Sony mirrorless. We talk after he finishes - he tells me that mirrorless will take over soon and time to "upgrade" ???? So, Nikon still has a d6, D850, D500 and other DSLR's. They have 90 DSLR lenses. R E L A X!!!! Got GAS? Rolaids! LOL!! P.S, I basically shoot a wedding with 4 lenses - that's all I need.

My eye sight is getting worse and I’m legally blind in one eye. I used my Nikon Z7 on a recent photo shoot in Florida and had a lot of problems seeing thru my view finder on whether my camera was in focus. In reviewing my photos a lot of them are out of focus. I would like to switch to a fixed focus lens. I would appreciate your thoughts and suggestions.
My vision was 20/400 30 yrs ago. Probably not as bad as yours. I use a different viewfinder cup to block sunlight. I still shoot events, second shoot weddings, concerts etc. I go thousands of shots without any out of focus. It's probably not the lens and I don't know how much you know about AF modes, adjusting viewfinder brightness on your mirrorless, diopter adjustment, dof control etc. So, my intent is to not be condescending. Simple answers - I shoot with dslr's, d750, d7100. Primarily 24-70 2.8, 70-200 2.8, both Nikon. I actually trust my camera! Shoot manually with high enough shutter speed ie 1/200 and above. Turn on your focus confirmation beep (unless it's intrusive). AF-S,S is the mode that allows the beep. If there is a lot of movement, no beep will be available but AF-C, D9 or S. Low light indoors, same thing with autoISO. Here's a few pics from two weeks ago. I also use my "OK" button from 100% zoom when chimping on image reviw (group shots checking for closed eyes etc).
