I was very disappointed that the lens didn’t arrive until after Christmas. They were a gift from my daughter to her husband. The seller had 9 days to deliver the lens but it took 11 days. It took the seller too long to get it to Fedex and the lens arrived in Kent, WA 2 days before Christmas and it took them 4 days to get the lens 35 miles.

For the money paid for this extra zoom, i wasen’t impressed at all with this product. It’s ok, but unless it was cheaper than before, I wouldn’t reccomend it………………

I can’t say that I am all that impressed with the VR function. Using it on my D80 and their is very little difference between VR and non-VR photos inside on a bright day. I hate using a flash and hoped that this lens would help me capture photos in lower light without the flash. I was dead wrong. In my living room on a very sunny day setting the shutter on 1/25, I still got a huge amount of blur. I have not been able to get any of my photos to look any better with the VR on vs. the VR off. and I have tried everything. I spent an hour on the phone with the Nikon rep who couldn’t figure out what was going on.
For the most part, this has turned out to be the exact same lens as my 18-135mm kit lens with a small weight difference.

Unfortunately, I found that the VR on this lens didn’t perform as I expected (comparing it to the image stabilization on my previous Canon S2 IS). I also didn’t like that the focus ring is at the far end of the lens, making it especially difficult to use if the hood in attached.

I use this lens with my D50 DSLR camera. The auto focus broke on the lens after the first 50 pictures. I had to manually focus. Will soon see how good Nikon’s warrant repair is.
