Great lens for the price. The auto focus isn’t quite as fast as the original Nikor lens that came with the camera, but much faster than I could do manually. So far can’t tell a difference in picture quality either. For all-around picture taking this lens makes all my others obsolete.

The copy that I got is very sharp and the image quality is just great. I must say I am very happy with this lens. This lens is best paired with D90 to compensate the lack of VC. But of course, any lower model will also produce good results. At 250mm the image is quite soft but for me it is still usable. You will hardly notice this softness when you print it.
I got my lens @ Photoworld at a very good price ($299.00). What a deal!
Thanks Amazon and Photoworld!

I have been using this lens for several months on my Nikon D40. A wonderful lens! The lens is relatively light in weight (especially when compared to the newer Tamron 28-300 VR lens that my wife has on her Nikon) making taking photos a real joy. The extended zoom range makes this a great general purpose lens..i.e for most situations the only lens you will need; especially useful when traveling. The image quality has been excellent, although at extreme zoom against a very light background I occasionally note some darkening around the edges (not unexpected). No lens is perfect, but on a features for the money basis, this one is not far off.

I have had it too short a time to give it 5 stars.
Out of the box, this unit blew me away. easy manual zoom; sharp focus.
As with many knock-offs I have seen, the view is a little dark. Compared to my 70-200 nikon manual 3.5f (very old) this is noticeable. However, the speed corrections on the camera, even on manual settings, overwhelm any criticism.
It is very light, good tolerances from feel, and doesn’t have a “cheap” feel.
The photos I have seen are crisp.
This is truly an all-in-one for any time you don’t know exactly what you may want to shoot.
The price is terrific; I’d want this as a backup even if I went for the $600 Nikon lens, which I am not yet considering!

I bought this because I only want to carry one Lens.
The sharpness is excellence even in 250 mm. Pictures quality are great!~ Really work great with my D40x. I really recommend anyone who are looking to buy good lens.
