 Mistaken identity...twice August 11, 2008

The lens pictured on the website page when I originally ordered is not the lens Amazon sent. Nor was its replacement, despite repeated e-mails over nearly a month pointing out the discrepancy. All they've done is replace the web page photo in the last few days. I am still waiting for Amazon to send the lens pictured when I first ordered.
 Low Quality, regardless pro or amateur.... July 24, 2008

Yes, the lens is sharp, but this is pretty much the only positive thing. Speed is okay and okay, you have to consider the price...
After using this lens for a while, I realized that the pictures are simply less vivid. Comparing pictures from this lens with other lenses on the same camera (D80) shows a clear difference - the pictures look merely washed out and have less vivid colors. Despite all adjustments and testing, the pictures appear of much less quality if compared in a slide show...
Okay, the price is great but who wants to have second class pictures...
For me - unusable and not (absolutely not) worth the money.
During the first few weeks of usage, I was actually satisfied. It took some time to find out that the difference is in the color quality. I then did a test and compared pictures by putting them together in a slide show.
If you have this lens, try it out and make this test - you will be disappointed - drastic difference...

I'm new to the Digital SLR World. Decided to try this for fun and as a new type of stress relief. I've only used point and shoot cameras in the past. Was concerned about the potential for shaky pictures when I was reviewing dSLR cameras and lens; and I was greatly surprised with what I experienced with my first shots. Shots with this lens and my new Nikon D40 came out clean and sharp. Shots were taken without a tripod. I agree with other reviews for you to save your money and get this lens over the VR version. I found this lens easy to use, and if gave great shots for very small subjects (i.e. toy poodles) up to 20 feet away. This lens is a great companion to the 18-55mm lens.
My wife is very happy! June 8, 2008

Exactly what I expected May 12, 2008

For less than I expected. Arrived sooner than expected and it worked right out of the box. A good product and a great vendor.
