Not a Nikon, but a good affordable 2nd stringer until I win the lottery!
So far I am just fooling around with it. The pictures seem sharp enough to my eye. The zoom is a little rough but not a deal breaker. Same for the noise the VC system generates. Those issues aren't too bad to manage. It will take a little more shooting to decide whether the slow response time is going to be an issue, I could see that it could be a problem for a professional who needs to catch that look between the bride and groom while cutting the cake. For me, I may miss a few family candid shots, but on the opposite side of the spectrum, the long range of the lens allows me to catch other shots that I wouldn't have had a chance at before, Right now, I would say, I definitely got my money's worth. It will be a great carry around lens. When the slow auto focus starts to get on my nerves, then I may think of upgrading to the Nikon version for 3 times the money. Until I can afford that one, this is a respectable substitute except in the most demanding situations.
