Cons: - contrast not good at all - build quality - bad sharpness in the edges - backlight situations dismal
Pros: - light - small - cheap - good focusing range
Summary: To be clear: this is probably the worst lens I have ever come across. Apart from being cheap and light it's close to worthless. Maybe I've come across an especially bad specimen. Sure you can use it for landscapes with good light from behind or from the side and if you don't want to carry around you expensive lenses, but trust me: even though I'm far from a pixel peeper, this thing is not worth it on a full frame camera, and it probably makes no sense on an APS-C/DX camera for many people due to its lack of wide angle there. If you need a more or less disposable lightweight standard zoom with decent performance take the 28-80 G lens. It's quite a bit better in my opinion.

Cons: Plastic mount. Rotating front element. On FX (full frame) soft out towards the edges at full aperture. Like a number of popular zooms of it age, not a lens for use at full aperture unless you're after a somewhat 'dreamy' look.
Pros: At 28mm very sharp edge to edge with good contrast when stopped down to f8 - f11 on FX D800 with only slight softness in extreme corners. Better than some 28mm primes I've tried. At 100mm sharp all over at f11. Sold mine and then bought another due to its excellent performance once stopped down. Weighs very little and costs less to buy than some filters.
Summary: Used stopped down, it's a great, lightweight, casual walkabout zoom lens for full frame Nikons when you don't want the weight or to risk your more expensive lenses. This is my second example of this lens and it's as good as the first one I owned so I find the negative reviews around the web perplexing unless the reviewers just used it wide open.

Cons: rotating front element, plastic mount
Pros: excellent value and optical performance, light weight
Summary: good walk about lens esp for apsc - if you can live with the lack of wide angle for that sensor size.
