I wanted a solid walkabout lens for my D5100 without breaking the bank. I had the option of buying the Nikon 18-300 for about $1000 or a 3rd party lens. I really did't want to invest too much in glass for a D series mount as I can see myself moving up to an F series in a couple of years.

I like it, i can take close pics and far away pics

i dont need to change lens any more

its a little heavy

I needed a one lens that does it all. A very fast quiet lens. I am very pleased with my purchase. I just take this lens for my yearly travel holidays. I am very please with my macro photos and my scenery photos. I cannot find any faults

I am an amature, have kids doing concerts to sports indoor and outdoor. I bought this lens because it is affordable and great quality. I do not have to change lens anymore, one lens for any activity. Exactly wat I am looking for.

Affordable Price; Fast Focus; Great Photo Quality; Light Weight; Perfect For Amature

A Little Tight To Operate

The title is a little misleading. It is the latest version of the lens, not the one with the 72mm filter. If this is what you want, it is nicely packaged, it includes three filters with magnification for close-up photo the bag and the protection petal. Hope this helped.

The barrel has a large zoom ring and a small manual-focusing ring at the front, with a zoom scale marked at 18, 24, 28, 35, 50, 80, 135, and 250mm. The three switches on the barrel include Zoom Lock, AF/MF, and stabilization ON/OFF.

Great image result for an APS-C style of camera. Used extensively on a major holiday in Europe the lens proved itself. The only downside is 'lens creep' as set in and the 'lock' must be placed on at all times if the camera is facing towards the ground when being carried.

Easy to use

Build quality

The perfect lens for those wishing they didn't have to change lenses all the time. We bought this to replace our two lenses and it worked out nicely. Takes perfect pictures and is easy to operate. Would recommend this to anyone.

I use this lens on my Sony A 77 II,It has been a pleasant surprise how light and easy to use

I really, really, really wanted to love this lens. I did a lot of research on my options in this pirce range and the fact it is built is Japan was a major selling point.THE GOOD: Well built with a sharp and clear visual through my DSLR. Operated smoothly and had a feel and look of quality.

Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Lightweight; Strong Construction

Color Not Quite Accurate; Color Was Not As Good As; Inconsistent Focus Issues
