Hi Steve, I use this lens a lot, it has excellent image quality and is very good value for money although I would not bother with a polarizing filter for this lens as it has too much of a wide angle and your blue sky will change from deep blue to light blue from one end of the photo to the other end.

Like you I use it on a Nikon body. So I would recommend it.
