Overall

User profile: Amateur
Cons: Built like an amateur lens, but better than Nikon's plasticky new lenses.
Pros: Handles well on my D600. Image quality is very good overall. Big enlargements (above 16x20) are no problem. I'd give it a 5, but there's always room for improvement. Compares well with Nikon 24 f2.8 AI, Nikon 28 f2.8. A real price/performance winner.
Summary: One of my favorite lenses. I have 11 FX lenses, so that's saying something. I'm an old Leica shooter, and expect great lenses.

Cons: All minor: Rings, both focus and zoom, are not silky but acceptable anyway; The sunstars at f/16 are Ok but not as good as with the 35mm f/2
Pros: Great 18-35mm wide range; 24 and 35mm, which I use the most, have exceptional image quality; Stopped down to f/8-f/16 this zoom is essentially equivalent to the outstanding 35mm f/2 in terms of sharpness; Moderate size and weight, excellent for hiking
Summary: Build quality is a bit on the low side but the image quality is close to perfection and the value for money can't be higher

Cons: Plasticy build, corners don't sharpen up at 18mm until well stopped down, front of lens picks up flare easily even with the supplied hood.
Pros: Amazing image quality for an inexpensive lens, as long as you shoot it at its strong point. Generally this means f/8 - f/11. The pictures have the snap that you expect from a lens with ED glass. Great, punchy color, enough sharpness to convince, and even illumination as long as you're stopped down.
Summary: A real surprise, given its price. I've seen some of these go on eBay for $250 in excellent used condition, and it's definitely worth more than that if you're shooting film or a D700. If you're shooting APS-C, skip this lens and go for one of Nikon's endless kit zooms. You'll get a new lens (the 18-35 was taking out of production years ago), you'll get VR on any of the newer ones, and you'll get autofocus with the lower end Nikon bodies.
