Replace a whole bag of glass with this! This lens does exactly what it says it does. from Amazon.com This lense is great because it allows you to move arround at any event and capture a wide variety of shots from wide angles to zoom up, seriously it's a great lense, no it is not as sharp as a 17mm-55mm F2.8, but again it does not cost $1,250 either for wide shots only, but hey I'm just a guy who loves to take photos, you could see my work on myspace or model mayhem find me using this email address [...] from Amazon.com The lens shipped by Nikon made grinding sounds and the picture frame vibrated. Shipped it back to Amazon and purchased a Tamron lens which I am very happy with. from Amazon.com I see a lot of argument back and forth about the definition of what a "kit-lens" is and if the 18-200 is a kit lens or not. Let's introduce another term of "pro-sumer". from Amazon.com Great all purpose lens. I use these like 95% of the time and only switch to my prime 40mm len for portrait shots. from Amazon.com This is an extremely popular lens for two reasons: price, and the long zoom range. Overall, this is a very good lens. from Amazon.com This is an excellent all-around lens. You get the advantage of wide angle and close-ups, all with one lens. from Amazon.com Like any bargain shopper, I wish the price of this lens would stop going up. Highlights: It focuses fast. from Amazon.com I'm a semi-retired newspaper photographer. I still freelance, shooting photojournalism, food, other marketing and PR visual communication along with fun stuff. I bought this lens with my D90 package because the zoom focal length covers most everything I'll need in the future. I've been carrying around big heavy gear bags my entire career and it was time to lighten up. from Amazon.com I'm an average user, not a pro. I take family shots and got sick of the slow action of general point and shoots. Have a nikon d40x and couldn't stand the poor zoom of the 18-55, but was NOT willing to give up the 18mm wide angle. from Amazon.com
