 Works great with my Nikon D40 December 29, 2008
P. Hildenbrand (Maryland, USA)
I absolutely love this lens! What a terrific deal over the $450+ cost of the Nikkor lens! I have had no problem with using any of the features on my camera with this lens, including auto focus as it states.My only problem with it (and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5) is that when using autofocus, the motor is a bit noisy and can be disruptive when doing nature photography as I do. So when photographing a wild animal that I do not want to startle, I just manually focus instead.
 GOOD LENS FOR THE PRICE December 21, 2008

I was happy with the pictures taken with this lens although I should have paid more attention to the other reviews. I thought that the reported noise of the zoom wouldn't bother me but it did. The motion of the zoom seemed a little forced...just not as smooth as the Nikkon lens I wound up purchasing instead after retuning this lens. I had also wanted it for the macro mode...which worked very well! Instead I went with a separate macro lens.
Just short of 5 stars December 16, 2008

This lens comes with a superb feature set for a very affordable price. I paid $139 (shipping extra) for this lens, and boy was it worth it. Excellent zoom range, acceptable crispness of image, decent build quality and a useful macro focusing mode. The only disadvantage is f/4 maximum aperture, but otherwise a worthy buy!

Great lens! Good Deal! Just little noise when focusing, but it didn't bother me much. Great for beginner like me. Easy to use. For less than $150, it is well worth it.
