I love the zoom range and it seems really sharp throughout. The fast precise focus really makes quick shots possible. I do miss the low light capability I get with my 50mm f1.4 lens but hey! Horses for courses. For what the lens is designed to do it is better than I had hoped for. If the light is low I can still boost the ISO rating and use VR so 1/50 sec is as good as 1/200 sec without VR. This is not a cheap lens but it is good value for money. Buying from Asia made it just affordable for me, getting about a third off retail in Australia. This really helped me decide to buy it. But as I said before This lens is better than I had hoped for. It really balances well with my Nikon D300 and the combo has about the weight I like. I find it hard to hold a really light camera/lens combo still enough. Controls eg VR switch are well placed to use without looking. The Zoom is really smooth and nicely firm ie not sloppy. It feels like it will last well - solid but smooth to operate. As you may gather I am wrapped.Read full review
This is a great lens in every way. It's really the only lens a typical user would ever need for a modern Nikon DX sensor SLR such as D3100, D3200, D5100 or D7000. All these cameras have CMOS sensors with such excellent Hi ISO performance that the performance in low light is very good - the relatively dark maximum aperture is rarely a limitation. The lens seems very sharp at all focal lengths. The zoom range of this lens means you've almost always got the right lens on the camera and you don't miss photo opportunities. Well worth the price tag.
Great lens. I have taken some amazing photos. As a beginner user of a digital SLR camera I found the lens quality to be great and the zoom to be perfect for taking really close up shots as well as distant shots to get some great landscape shots of buildings and wide views of the subjects on my European holiday. Portraits of people also turn out great and the quality is amazing. I chose this lens because it already had great reviews online in comparison to other lenses on the market. I find I agree wholeheartedly with those reviews and that I am very satisfied with my purchase.
Covers the more frequently used focal lengths . Very convenient .

My first lens upgrade from the Nikon d3400 kit lens. Works well in a variety of settings. I think it was worth the money.
