 Satisfied customer July 19, 2008
The lens worked as described. I've not had the opportunity to get more use out of it yet. However, if the results as currently experienced are what I can expect, I will not be disappointed. The lens is great, the vendor honorable what more can one ask for.
Noisy focus and VR July 14, 2008
The silent wave motor (SWM) focus system is not very silent; however, it achieves very sharp focus in good light. In dim light, the SWM struggles, and sometime does not achieve focus. Has anyone else noticed a noisy SWM in this lens, or is mine defective?
The vibration reduction (VR) system is affective. It works very well in this lens; however, it is noisy. The noise resembles a clamping sound when the VR starts at the beginning of a shot. It produces a clunk when it releases after taking a shot. The image in the viewfinder also jerks at the end of the shot, which the instructions seem to indicate is normal. Has anyone else noticed this?
 Good choice June 27, 2008
This has been a great addition to my original "kit" package. It has extended my range for my landscape photography as well as unobtrusive photography in crowds. The price is right!
Capable June 24, 2008
In well lit conditions the is a great lens. Pictures are nice and crisp and the zoom is much better then the kit lens. The only problem is...once the sun starts going done, the lens quickly becomes much less usable. Pictures come out dark and fuzzy. Typically once that happens I just switch over to my kit lens which is much more capable in lower light conditions.
So basically, if you plan on using this is sunny conditions, go for it, great lens. But if you're looking for something more flexible, get something with a better (lower) f-stop.

If you bought a D-40 with the 18-55mm lens kit, this zoom lens is a perfect addition for any beginning D-SLR users. I have gotten sharp images at 1/15 shutter speed. Great for nature and sports photography. If you have some extra cash, check out the "all-in-one" 18-200 Nikkor VR.
