Posted by: from Central Pt., Oregon on 01/18/2012Works great, vast improvement over the 50mm that came with the camera. Image quality is much better and the VR technology seems to work well.

Nice telephoto lens with good zoom range.

Posted by: from Rock Island, IL on 01/16/2012I purchased this lens prior to the Christmas holiday. I couldn't pass it up since it was on sale for $149.00. I has proven to be a great addition to the standard lens that is on my Nikon D80. It has a good zoom range (55-200mm) with responsive auto focus and good image clarity. Certainly would recommend this lens to anyone who wants to add a telephoto lens and does not want to go broke doing it.

Posted by: from Kansas on 01/11/2012This has a toy like feel to it, but the images are fantastic. Dead on sharp focus with my 2 Nikon bodies. The VR works like it should. The light weight plastic lens may not stand up to heavy use, but it is worth it's price,

Delivers as advertised.

Posted by: from PCB, FL on 01/09/2012It is well balanced on the camera. It is also easy to set up and use. So far picture taking has produced quality results. As I have only just purchased the lense, I am unable to rate its durability, but it does appear to be solidly built.

Easy to use.

Posted by: from Maryland on 12/04/2011This lens is great for distant shots. It is easy to use and easy to interchange quickly between lenses. The one thing that is an issue with it is that it is not a multi-tasking lens; it really is only good for those shots that are further out than 55mm or 3.5 feet. I would also recommend using the VR function or getting a tripod. As your focal point is so much further out, even with the VR turned on it still takes a little practice to get a clear picture if you aren't using a tripod.
