I have had this lens for about 4 months now, on the front of a D40 and more recently a D90 and have got to say its amazing. great, sharp, image quality, excellent build quality and the VR works really well. To be honest, if you are on the road or out and about shooting its really all you need. The only time I can think that you would want something else would be for serious macro work, ultrazoom or perhaps indoor portraits. This lens is pricey, that's for sure, but it is worth every penny!

I'm using this with a Nikon D5000 - Digital camera - SLR - 12.3 Mpix - body only - supported memory: SD, SDHC and it's a fantastic combination, beautifully weighted, relatively compact and easy to use. Notwithstanding that the lens cost as much as the camera it still makes more sense in my view to buy the D5000 body and this lens than, say the more expensive Nikon D90 or one of the even dearer semi-pro models and stick with the standard lenses. That's partly because the quality of the optics in this lens is simply better than the standard lenses - which are produced to a very low cost - and partly because of the enormous flexibility this lens imparts. With this on the camera no other lens is necessary for normal photography, the zoom range is perfect for composing nearly every shot and the maximum aperture of f3.5 to 5.6 is exceptional for a lens of this type - and better than any of the third party offerings such as Tamron or Sigma.
If you can afford this then buy it (used is probably a very good buy).

Hello, I purchased this lenses for my D5000 Nikon camera. I'm quite happy with them although the image quality looks exactly the same to me as the Nikkor 18-55 lens kit.This one is, of course, a more powerfull lens, a good superzoom, which means I can carry them in my travels without having to change lenses all the time.
It looks well built, it's plastic made and a bit heavy but that's ok to me since it's the first lens I buy for my first DSLR camera, I'm still learning but I wanted a good quality lenses. When you move the ring it moves softly and firm.
Prior to this one I owned a Tamron 18-200 with no VR which I didn't like much because the image quality wasn't as good as the kit the camera came with. This ones are far better than the Tamron (and far more expensive too).
Some people say this lens creep, mine doesn't, when I point the camera down with the lock in the Off position, nothing happens, lens not moving a bit. Maybe when they get old they will creep, but not now. Hopefully they won't never creep.
So at the moment I'm very happy with them but I still think they are a bit overpriced, that's why the 4 stars over 5.

I love it
In short, I love this lens. I should have got one ages ago. If you love photography and traveling with your camera, don't think twice. Spoil yourself, you will not be sorry.
