Amazing! My pictures came out crystal clear!

I'm a professional photographer. Weddings, portraits, concerts, landscapes, urban exploring. I do it all. I shoot with a Nikon D3 (for weddings and portraits) and D800 (landscapes and fine art shots.) I love prime lenses.
I started with the Nikon FX "holy trinity" of zooms (14-24, 24-70 and 70-200). But when I looked at my metadata in LightRoom, I noticed I was pretty consistently shooting at around 105mm for portraits, 14mm for landscapes. So I switched to primes and loved them.
Until I had to shoot a wedding without a 2nd shooter. I realized I needed a zoom so I got this one. I was expecting to be disappointed, but was really surprised at the quality of shots!
It focuses better than the 24-70mm. Shots are as crisp as any prime lens. Portraits at 200-300mm are exquisite.
The main drawback, of course, is having the aperture go to 5.6 when zoomed out. I thought this would be a real problem, but on the D3 I can boost the ISO and never miss a shot.
I've used this lens indoo

Received this lens 2 days ago and took it around town and to a baseball game to try it out on my D700. Overall I am very pleased with it. The zoom range allows for great flexibility, the autofocus is fast, VR II superb as on other Nikon lenses. While the zoom is not as loose as the early 18-200mm lenses, you do need the included lock for it not to creep if you carry the lens pointed down on your camera. The weight of the lens as other reviewers say is quite comfortable - mine with clear protective filter comes in at 860g, just a touch heavier than the 70-300mm but not something you'd noticed without a scale. Build quality is very solid.
I tested this lens against my 70-300mm f4.5-5.6 VR and the 16-35mm f4 VR and overall I was pleasantly surprised how well the new lens did. Three things potential buyers should be aware of:
1) while the lens is listed as 28-300mm it seems to be neither quite 28mm (the angle of view is slightly narrower than the 16-35mm set to 28mm), nor does it quite ex
