Conclusion: Mistaken identity...twice


Review: 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.

Conclusion: Low Quality, regardless pro or amateur....


Review: Yes, the lens is sharp, but this is pretty much the only positive thing. Speed is okay and okay, you have to consider the price...
After using this lens for a while, I realized that the pictures are simply less vivid. Comparing pictures from this lens with other lenses on the same camera (D80) shows a clear difference - the pictures look merely washed out and have less vivid colors. Despite all adjustments and testing, the pictures appear of much less quality if compared in a slide show...
Okay, the price is great but who wants to have second class pictures...
For me - unusable and not (absolutely not) worth the money.
During the first few weeks of usage, I was actually satisfied. It took some time to find out that the difference is in the color quality. I then did a test and compared pictures by putting them together in a slide show.
If you have this lens, try it out and make this test - you will be disappointed - drastic difference...

Conclusion: Good Lens for Beginners


Review: I'm new to the Digital SLR World. Decided to try this for fun and as a new type of stress relief. I've only used point and shoot cameras in the past. Was concerned about the potential for shaky pictures when I was reviewing dSLR cameras and lens; and I was greatly surprised with what I experienced with my first shots. Shots with this lens and my new Nikon D40 came out clean and sharp. Shots were taken without a tripod. I agree with other reviews for you to save your money and get this lens over the VR version. I found this lens easy to use, and if gave great shots for very small subjects (i.e. toy poodles) up to 20 feet away. This lens is a great companion to the 18-55mm lens.
