I'm a semi professional photographer and needed a DX lens for my back up camera. The pros of the lens are 1. Pin sharp focus across the frame at all focal lengths. 2. Auto focus is smooth and quiet. 3. VR on a lens this size is a bonus. 4. Lens lock button. Some reviews have seen this as a niggle. I personally like this feature on all zoom lenses. Niggle points. 1. The zoom ring on my lens feels a little stuff but still moves relatively smoothly. 2. The barreling is plastic. This however for me is an acceptable compromise as I'm not going to put the lens through a war zone.

Neat, compact and very sharp lens. The vibration reduction system is very effective and allows an average of 2 stops of slower shutter speed while hand held without tripod. I shoot only in available light and the images are very sharp. Needs a plain or uv filter for dust protection but these are very cheap. Focussing is very rapid. All in all a very nice piece of kit and, for the price, is very much recommended!

One of Nikon’s best lenses for sharpness, contrast, focus accuracy etc. Buy one. Look at the price. This lens is an absolute babe. Check out Ken Rockwell’s review. Maybe not one to last 25 years like other great Nikkors but for £150 if you do break it just buy the newer updated version for £130.

Excellent condition, works perfectly. My old one wasn't functioning properly, the images were blurred so I decided to buy a new one, just the same. I was afraid a bit that I won't be satisfied with the quality but luckily everything works like new. It's a second generation lens, so the manufacturer has improved the lens since I had bought my first one. I am gonna have happy days taking pictures.

The glass is clean and free of marks. The body is free of scratches and other signs of use. The lens is easy to use and produces excellent results. The wide angle is very good for shooting in confined spaces indoors. VR is an excellent feature.
