    I got this lens in a kit with a Nikon D80 camera. This lens failed to deliver the goods 99% of the time. Why buy an expensive camera and then use a cheap lens like this? Its silly to spend big money on the camera and have only blurry pictures to show from it. It was only tolerable in very bright situations and using less than 100mm focal length. A cloudly day or all of the 200 mm zoom would result in a picture that had significant distortion noticeable even on little 4×6 prints. Very few pictures came out when it was used in the fullest zoom (200mm). I disliked this lens enough to return the entire camera kit and purchase a different camera (D200) that came with the highly ranked 18-200 VR lens from Nikon.

    If your interested in nice sharp pics, then pass on this lens. If you want to save a few bucks and like blurry photos, this lens is for you…

    This lens came with the 2 lens kit so I’m not sure what I paid for it. I only know it is a nikon and I expected much more from it. It is light and cheesy feeling. It does not focus well, it just tries and tries to the point that I take it off and use another lens. Mine is marked “made in china”, maybe that explains it. I am not happy at all with this lens and I feel like I have been taken for a ride. It is not even close to the quality of the other lens in the kit. I thought it was defective until I have read the other reviews on this lens, I should have read them before I bought the kit. The D70s is great and the 18-70mm lens is very good too. Don’t waste your money on this lens.

    I have a Nikon D70. This lens was designed for the Nikon D50, but it works fine on the D70. If you want a better lens you will have to spend more money.

    The lens pictured on the website page when I originally ordered is not the lens Amazon sent. Nor was its replacement, despite repeated e-mails over nearly a month pointing out the discrepancy. All they’ve done is replace the web page photo in the last few days. I am still waiting for Amazon to send the lens pictured when I first ordered.

    Bought it for the price which was a bad idea. It has a plastic lens mount, which I hate! The quality of the photo’s is pretty good. I don’t use it often in my wedding photography but it serves it’s purpose for letting me zoom in close when I need to.
