This lens seems to get consistently trashed in reviews but I find it to be a perfect walk around lens for my d750. Compact, light and good looking, it delivers very acceptable to excellent images at all focal lengths. If you are a gear snob or "pixel peeper" maybe it's not for you, but I love getting good value for the money I spend. By the way, mine is the non Di version of this lens. Huge zoom range is a big plus too!

I bought a D700 to try full frame and use my old Nikon lenses. I wanted an inexpensive universal zoom lens with auto focus to see how the modern system works. I've been a well satisfied Lumix Micro 4/3 guy for years and am familiar with modern auto everything cameras, but not full frame. This Nikon zoom is pretty old technology. It doesn't focus close, the zoom has a little "grind in it", not smooth, and the front rotates as it focuses so it needs a rediculous huge round lens shade. It's a compromise. Worked fine, decent results, but clumsy. If I had looked more carefully I would have noticed the Tamron 28-300 zoom a newer and more versatile lens, macro focusing and a better zoom range than the Nikon lens I'm reviewing here. It's clean and compact. It is pretty well reviewed and I like the results. The Tamron cost about the same as the Nikon on Ebay. Caveat emptor.Read full review

An old screwdrivers lens thats very plastically and light, a bit rattly but is quite compact for it's zoom range also is surprisingly sharp and can focus reasonably closely making it a good travel lens

Great Lens! Pretty soft zoomed all the way in but then again it not a $2000 zoom so you have to expect some compromise. Great Macro lens. This type of lens is a must have to take to places you don't want to risk your expensive glass. If you use it indoors you need to have a flash obviously. The pictures I took with my 50mm 1.8 lens were better but only if you pixel peep. If you are just printing out 5x7 or smaller or publishing to the web this lens will give you great results. Of course if you are a pro photographer this is not for you.
the lens is versitile and very sharp on my nikon d7100. I keep it on camera for both wide and zoomed images for nature photography and landscape option as well. The price was unbeatable and the lens is brand new!
