 Excellent lens April 17, 2008
This lens is great. It's incredibly sharp through the entire range. It's a fantastic purchase and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
One of the best inexpensive lens in my collection! April 17, 2008

Wow! I have 10-20mm Sigma that was pretty good (better sharpness than Nikkor 50mm 1.8), but this 18-50mm F2.8 is simply outstanding. Good optics, focus and zoom operation, working "crazy" macro, compact design, well built , light weight. What else to ask for? May be, I just got a good sample - who knows, time will tell...
The truth is: If it is working - you will like it a lot. If it does not impress you - do not give up and try exchanging it, it could be your lucky ticket.
Good Luck...
Clean edges, vivid color, excellent in low light conditions! March 30, 2008

A beautiful lens that captures action at low light and produces beautiful images. Quality glass and manufacturing keeps the wide angled edges distortion free. I love to use this lens.
 Bad copy March 25, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
I got my copy a couple weeks back. Whenever I used the autofocus feature, the photos look quite blurry comparing to my 50mm/1.8 prime lens. Amazon has been very good in its customer service and sent me another copy right away, without charging me. I will test it out and bump up the rating if it does better.
Blows kit lens out of water March 8, 2008

I've had the pleasure of having this lens for about a week and have to say I'm very impressed by the constant f/2.8 aperture that it offers. In normal indoor lighting and ISO of about 400 or even 200 I can shoot some very nice shots without flash.
Your first reaction when you get this lens is it's freaking huge! It has a 72mm lenscap which is almost 1.5 times bigger than the kit. It also weighs much more because it uses more metal and glass. For handheld shots that's not a problem and in my opinion can actually help stability a little. For tripod pictures however, I will need another tripod because it just makes the camera too heavy. You'll also want to hold on to your kit lens when you are hiking and don't want to carry a heavy lens.
I am a D40 user so I didn't have too many choices that autofocused. the 50mm prime lens that I bought before did was not easy to focus manually and I wish I would have bought htis first.
