Excellent - but not perfect - lens
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.
Everything you've heard about this lens is true - the good and the bad. First off, the bad - which is not all that bad. Like *any* zoom, it has some distortion at some focal lengths. I find that personally I can live with this distortion, and God knows if you can't DXO will fix it for you automatically and painlessly. As for the good - excellent usable range, very good (but not killer) sharpness at f8 and above, and the VR is AMAZING. You really truly will never want to go back once you experience the VR - it really is that good.
Get this lens if you can afford it - sell some of your other lenses if you must, you will likely never touch them again anyway. I've sold five of my other lenses; I've only kept my ultra-wide 12-24DX, and an old MF ultra-prime 180mm, more out of nostalgia than anything else.
Nikon Rules!!!!
