Cons: Cheap build quality, terrible sharpness at longer end of zoom range (over about 150mm or so), not very sharp at other focal lengths.

Pros: Cheap, I guess. Discontinued, so people won't buy it by mistake.

Summary: The first lens from Nikon that has not impressed me, this was a second kit lens for my D70 when I purchased it. This lens has horrible sharpness issues, especially at the longer focal lengths. Avoid this lens.
