This lens is probably the best lens I own.
It focuses fast and it is very sharp.
Even professional photographers say that it is one of the best lenses and
reasonably priced.

zoom lens that is also the best performing midrange zoom I've ever used!
Caution: this AFS lens only works
properly with some of the very newest AF cameras. It only works correctly
on the D1 series, D100, F5, F100, N80, N75 and N65, period. It does not
work correctly on most Nikon cameras.

Instead, I've decided to keep in my bag and use it regularly.
"Unbelievable" was what everyone thought when they first saw the US$350
street price of this lens. But then they noticed the specifications:
G-type with no aperture ring and a slow variable aperture. "Oh, that's the
catch," they decided, and immediately dismissed the lens. Not so fast, I
say. This is a respectable lens with a few very nice things going for it,
as you'll see shortly.
It does not work properly on the N55, F4,
N90, N70 or any other AF or manual focus cameras. More later about that.

After reading all the reviews I could find, I decided this lens had to be
worth a serious look. I bought it and have been happy with it from day
one.
