1 out of 5 stars awful   April 21, 2008
This lens is terrible. The focus isn't sharp, and if you don't engage the zoom lock, the lens just slides in and out. I returned it.
Do not purchase this product!



5 out of 5 stars Good Stuff   February 11, 2008
I really like the versatility of this lens. I have owned it for about 4 months now and could not be happier. I am a casual user with a canon rebel xt and his gave me a lens to use for all shots. I read a lot of reviews downing it because of its lack of professional quality, well im not a proffesonial and it easily exceeds any point and shoot lens out there. So if you are new to slr cameras and want a good but cheap lens this is the one.

This is an excellent lens for your Nikon, but as expected, will meter, but not autofocus on the D40/D40x. I fully expect to manually focus anyway, since I do that on other older lenses. It's a bit heavier than the kit D40 lenses, but it feels solid. A colleague tried it on his D100 and he loved the lens as well.
Pluses -
- Solid optics (F3.5 at ~28mm)
- Great zoom range
- Takes vivid color photos
Negatives -
- Lens cap is hard to put on with lens hood attached.

I like this lens alot. I use it for my Nikon D70 and it is probably the best lens i have owned. the pictures are very crisp and it manually focuses very very easily. I love this lens so much. I cried when i got it.


3 out of 5 stars Ok cheap lens   April 19, 2007

I bought it to be my primary lens for my first DSLR, but it has been a disappointment. While the idea is great, it has a few design flaws. Lock of the zoom extension started malfunctioning fairly soon, rubber coating for some reason started coming off as well. While coating does not really affect anything, malfunctioning zoom lock has adverse effect. It is not exactly the sharpest of the lenses either.

You get what you pay for. You will not get a great zoom lens to go to 300mm at the price, so it's worth what it sells for. If you are serious about it, you should investigate a bit before committing to this product.
