This cheap lens does everything that has been written in reviews. I use it on my Nikon D40X, besides that I mostly use (outside) the Nikon 18-200VR zoomlens. Sharpnes is magnificent, the only little critics I feel is the rather cheap "feeling" of this plastic lens. But the "glasswork" does what it promises, so....
You won't be sorry when you buy this one!

One of Nikon's best lenses ever! I purchased this lens a few months ago for my D300 and I've used this lens as my primary nearly 80%+ of the time I've used my D300 on different adventures (20+ adventures). It's small, lightweight, and incredibly fast, especially in low light. The ability to manually adjust your f-stop is a plus, though you can always leave it on auto. This lens is great for portraits and general landscapes, and mostly any assignment in between. I was a little shocked that the lens I bought was "Made in China," but it's still a great lens for a bargain price, especially from Nikon. The foldable rubber lens hood and UV filter are sold separately, but worth spending the extra cash for these two accessories. Any photographer, whether you are a pro or just a beginner should be equipped with a lens like this.

I am a low budget shooter who only shoots occasionally for hobby.

I use this lens mostly for low light situations and portraits.
It's not as long as I would like for portraits, but it is good enough for hobby.
The bokeh is nice to have and 1.8 aperture is so amazing when paired with 1600 ISO.

This lens is probably one of the best bargains I have purchased from Nikon. It is VERY sharp and fast and quiet. Very fast for the $$$. I almost alway leave it on my D200. It is a great all around lens.
