I got one for my D70, and it almost exclusively replaced the (also great!) kit 18-70 one. http://shot.pl/1/125/hot-town-summer-in-the-city/ was my first shot with it. :) You’ll love it.

This is a good choice! You forgot one good side: It is a fixed lense which has by design a better picture quality compared to zoom-lenses.

And now I'm even more excited about it after seeing your test shots... What a coincidence, I was just discussing this lens with a colleague yesterday, and I ordered one for my D80 last night.
