I just received this lens this week. I would had thought that it was broken if I did not go through the instruction carefully. The aperture ring was set to the lowest f number when it arrived. I got the "FEE" message and my D200 will not take any picture after I attached the lens to the camera. I set the aperture ring back to the higherst f number and the camera recognize the lens perfectly. The pictures are crispy clear. This is a great lens for portrait. Other people already gave the good review already, and I am not going to repeat myself. I do want to point out a few concerns for this lens.
1. You have to have a very steady hand, especially when you are taking indoor pictures. A tiny movement will cause considerable blur, so a tripod is recommanded. I guess this is common for macro lens at 100mm.
2. You are not getting f2.8 everywhere. The aperture changes from different focal planes.
3. The lens is not a fast lens due to the long focal length. You will probably need a flash if you are taking picture indoor.
4. The lens feels heavy.
