A nice lens but as the previous reviewer points out, it is heavy and the lens cap is maddening. For general use, it stays on my D50 most of the time.

Certainly a good walk-around lens, except that is weighs a ton. The 82mm filter size makes front-protection and CPL expensive. Its also difficult to remove or place the lens cover when the hood is on. But its really a sharp and fast lens.

Very good lens. One of my favourite. Just a little bit noisy in autofocus and a little bit heavy, but with it i've taken a lot of satisfactory photos.
Other noticable problems are the cost of the filter (they are VEEERY big) and the shadow if you use the built-in SLR flash (not a problem for me since I use an external flash unit). Constant f 2.8 in all zoom range is a great thing. It's not so sharp at wide open, but I like the resulting image, expecially for portraits Add your reviewLogin required
