Good product for me, no problems at all.

An excellent expensive fixed staff for Nikon DX-format SLR cameras. Especially good as a seasoning for small DSLRs like the D40, D40x, D60 or D3000: this combination is about the size of a large compact with a super-duper zoom. At the same time, the camera does not "nod" when hanging on a belt. Compared to the standard 18-55 VR, this lens seemed much less flimsy: nothing dangles, does not extend, and does not suck dust. Pleased with a metal mount with a rubber seal. As for sharpness, there are no complaints on my D40, even at an open aperture. The existing flaws in the picture either do not strain, or are removed in the RAW converter.

Pros

Lightweight and compact, good focal length for DX, near-silent focusing, decent picture quality wide open, decent build for the price.

Cons

Small backlash of the focus ring (within 0.5 mm). Noticeable HA and barrel distortion of the picture. A rough pattern in the blur zone (if this is critical, it is advisable to cover the aperture by about half a stop).
