Gives nice sharp images for a zoom lens. There is some fall off at the 210mm end and some distortion which can be corrected in post editing. Well made with Japanese optics. This is old technology with push / pull zoom and can only be used on digital bodies with a built in motor to autofocus. Mine has uprated autofocus which makes it ideal for action shots. There is no VR so has to be used with a fast shutter speed (higher ISO) to avoid camera shake (or tripod). Having said all this it only cost ££ whereas the modern equivalent is £££. This is good value for the money paid for it.

Whilst not the latest from Nikon I find that these earlier lenses feel better made (probably more metal and less plastic) than some modern releases, the optics of this one are fantastic and images seem to be well focused and sharp across the range. Although I generally try to get faster lenses, so far have no problems with this purchase; if there is a down-side then it is that focusing is a little slower and noisier than today's lenses as it uses the camera motor because there is no built in drive. I am delighted with the product and enjoy using it.

One of the old school Nikon lenses all metal brilliant optics but no VR just make sure the shutter speed is high enough to stop camera shake or use a tripod

Old school piece of glass that shines with its crisp images. Smooth barrel function in the zoom mode, quick focus. I have a D7200 so AF works fine, I think it'll only work in manual for the 5000 range downwards.
