love this lens also. I got it soon after I bought my first camera(d60) and it is quite sharp. the dof can make it hard to use at times, but its part of the fun. my favorite lens so far :D

White balance was auto and there were three different types of light bulbs in the room. It's the best the D90 could do I guess.

Looks good enough for me!

Thanks for the sample pictures!

And not really nitpicking, but sort of am at the same time, is the white balance a bit off in the picture?

No, I haven't yet got one of these but my roommate did! We tested it out on my D90:

At 1.8, it's sharp only in the center as the shallow DOV does not do well for corners:

At 2.8, it's a bit more sharp overall. Granted these shots are hand held at not the highest shutter speeds.

I definitely need to get myself one of these. It shows the nice saturated colors I like very well and is rather sharp. It seems to perform like a 1000 dollar lens. If Nikon keeps doing things like this, they will corner the market!
