A sweetheart! A versatile performer, solid and fun to use!Mar 10, 2006
By Roger J. Buffington
This is just a plain sweetheart of a lens. It covers the useful 18-35 mm range (which is 27-52mm on a Nikon digital SLR, which is a VERY useful range). This lens costs less than half the price of the (expensive) professional Nikon 17-35, and does almost as nice a job. Sufficiently nice, in fact, that most amateurs will not discern much, if any, difference. While not built like a tank, I think that the quality of construction on this one is excellent, and more than adequate for enthusiastic amateurs and even some pros.
On a Nikon digital SLR, which will use the center portion of this lens (due to the size of the sensor in the SLR) you can expect excellent, even spectacular results. This is a fabulous lens for landscape and nature shots, portraits, or just plain walking around taking pictures. Someone who only wanted one lens that was not a telephoto could do much worse than to select this excellent, versatile lens. This one is great for parties, vacations, and the works.
The images I have shot with this lens have all featured superb contrast, are very sharp, and have beautiful color rendition. There just is not a lot not to like about this lens. I give it 4 stars for overall performance, but 5 stars for value and price/performance. Some lenses just get it all together and work and become keepers. This is one of those.

 Quality and priceFeb 02, 2010
By Roebear
Have had the lens for a few years and probably 15,000+ images on 3 Nikon cameras. No repairs or apparent wear, it is tougher than it looks, even dropped it once, no problems.
Excellent color rendition, contrast and sharpness for the price. While the build and quality not quite up to the pro lenses, you get quite close to their quality for half the price, especially with digital cameras.
Beautiful lens allowing a great variety of shots from family gatherings to landscapes, it serves as my prime lens unless I am going for the greatest possible detail such as large landscape prints but that is not
to say this lens will not provide snappy 8 x 10 and larger, it does!
I wish it had a little more range than 18-35, but then I always want more, but could not get it with this kind of performance and price.

Great wide angle!Nov 03, 2011
By Hippopapamus

Like many others I was debating between this and the 20-35 and 17-35..but it all comes down to what your needs are and how deep your pockets are..right? I wanted a lens for landscape and this fit the bill nicely. If you plan on using a tripod, you don't need fast glass anyhow..right? This lens does struggle in low-light, hand held..but like I said..what are your needs? If you are in need of a landscape wide angle lens and want to save some bucks..this is it. It's plenty sharp..especially when you start stopping it down to 5.6 or more. There is distortion on the ends..but like I said..if you are doing landscapes, just frame accordingly.

For the price, you can't find a better alternative than this.Sep 01, 2011
By Li
Skip any aftermarket lens in similar zoom range and get this, sharp and contrasty, zoom is fairly good best for use with full frame cameras traveling on the light, uses your standard 77mm filter (probably need a slim filter.)
For APS-C DX cameras, the zoom becomes a 27mm-52mm, which is pretty much a normal than a wide angle, so I'd suggest get Nikon 10-24mm DX

Great valueJul 22, 2011
By P. Montesano
This replaced an unfortunate Tamron WA purchase which I regretted immediately. For the price I don't think you can get better Nikon optics. Distortion is fairly high at the widest end and you get vignetting at 18mm if using with a standard thickness filter. Construction feels solid. Recently there appears to be a dust spot that's worked its way into the lens but after backpacking around the world for a year I guess that's to be expected.
