A great value for a good lens 
I bought this to use on an upcoming trip to Alaska. I have used it in shooting around California including the Sierra's. The Lens focuses well but the use of a monopod is a great help or a tripod. The macro feature is an added bonus as well as the motorized feature. If you want to practice before buying a more expensive lens and camera this is the way to go. I have a Nikon D60 and am moving from my 35mm film camera to digital. I have to admit the auto focus is nice but the ability to still go all manual is wonderful.
Amazing pictures
It is only 4 days that I received the lens kit from the seller. I am not an expert photographer, and I own a D40.
Out door pictures are simply excellent & autofocus works very well. Additional flash lights are a must for low lit areas, but we can do without it in well lit indoors. Handling is smooth, a tripod would be of an added advantage, but with some experience, you can avoid shaky pictures.I will recommend this lens for this price you spend. Just enjoy taking new pictures!!
Great lens for a great price! 
Feeling limited by my 18-135 lens I began looking into zoom lenses. A friend of mine has the Nikon 70-300 VR which is an amazing lens but substantially out of my price range as well. I debated saving up for the Nikon lens but after much consideration I decided to give this one a shot since it was within my budget and would get me that extra distance. I am using this lens with my D40x and the pictures I have taken have been crystal clear. I am extremely satisfied with this lens and it has performed well above my expectations.
not too bad
Its loud, it feels nasty, and its clunky. Get past all that and its a great buy! If you have used the Nikon version you'll notice the difference. The color is good and there is not much distortion at all. It would be nice if it had some kind of vibration reduction but if you have a tripod you'll be ok. I'm just trying to get past how loud it is, after that I'll be totally fine with it.
AWESOME LENS!!
The lens is EXCELLENT for the price. Takes wonderful photos. The only drawback is that is does not have 'image stabilizer' but other than that this is the perfect lens for anyone. I would highly suggest it to anyone.
