Dank je, 2.0 is inderdaad niet behelpen
Schijnt verder een prima objectief te zijn (bron

I was genuinely surprised with the test results of this humble normal lens. It delivers sharp and contrasty images already at wide apertures. Even at f/2, there is just a trace of flare and corner softness, and beyond f/2.8 it renders excellent image quality. Despite its multi-coating, some flare and ghosting result when the lens is pointed towards the sun, so be careful in that situation. The 6-bladed aperture can give some not-so-nice ghosts and while these normally are well controlled, they become much more obvious for IR photography.
To show age doesn't mean a thing, this lens is probably one of the sharpest Nikkors I've deployed on my D2H. A pity it isn't comfortable with my D70 because of the AI construction.
For use on the D2X, you should be aware of the less than perfectly flat field of this lens. Centre of the image is very very sharp with D2X, but you can see a slight deterioration of quality towards the corners, thus preventing the lens from getting a perfect score with this camera.
The earlier, non-AI models are engraved "H" or "H·C", the latter being multicoated. Optically, both are fine performers as is the AI model.
