Price: Came with
User profile: Semipro
Cons: Limited zoom range, limited fastness, plastic mount, doesn't come with lens hood, difficult to use manual focus, lens thread turns when zooming and focusing
Pros: Usable image quality throughout the zoom range, good VR, good price/quality ratio
Summary: This was the kit lens that came with my D5000. Cheap materials but well built, this is a good starting point for a DSLR shooter. Throughout the zoom range and starting at max aperture, it gives pleasant results. But the zoom range is so limited that I'd rather recommend the 18-105VR Kit lens which has similar properties but a longer reach.

Cons: Could be better made
Pros: Capable of very good results
Summary: At this sort of price this is a remarkable piece of equipment. Despite its shortcomings, the simple truth is it will outperform many of the photographers that use it, and even with many years of experience behind me I include myself here.
