WONDERFUL lens... NOT a cure all NOTE: I changed this review on May 15, somewhat to respond to some of the other comments.
Some of the reviews you've read on the internet are a little over-hyped. And some of them, or at least some portions of them, are not. I'm using this lens on a D50... Great results so far.
Well, you know the specs by now. two ED elements, three aspheric, Silent Wave Motor, VR II, Internal Focusing (NO movement of the front element!) and great zoom range (beware, this thing gets obn...

The first few pictures I could tell this is a quality lens as has been described in other reviews. It took about a month to receive it ,but was worth the wait. With my D200 this lens and my Sigma10-20mm and my Nikon 80-400mm I'm set for a lot of photography enjoyment. My personal likes are wildlife and scenes.
If you want an all around lens this is the one!!!

76% (19 of 25) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | A breakthrough! A high quality lens that almost all Nikon users will want This lens is quite literally a miracle of technology. It provides sharp, decent performance as a 18mm to 200mm zoom lens. (It provides a 27-300 focal range on a Nikon digital camera due to the 1.5 sensor crop). This is a DX lens, and therefore is designed only for Nikon digital cameras, not film cameras. The fact that it is a DX lens also enables this lens to be lighter and smaller than a conventional "full crop" lens. I have been told by pros that this lens would be a "monster" in size were...

96% (104 of 108) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | I love this lens! I bought this lens with the Nikon D200 DSLR. After only two weeks, I absolutely love it. Other than my wide angle 12-24mm lens, this is the only lens that I will carry around with me now.
I haven't made any large prints yet, but the images look very sharp on the monitor, even when cropped and enlarged.
Best of all, the VR really works as advertised. Although I was skeptical of Nikon's claim that the VR is worth 3-4 stops, I'm a believer now. Turn off the VR, zoom to 20...

93% (56 of 60) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | Vibration Reduction is Awesome I was shooting with the 18-70 D70 kit lens and the 70-300 ED lens. I love not having to change lens anymore. The 100mm you lose is nothing compared to the convenience you gain. You won't miss your shot because you have to change lens. That was what initially got me interested in this lens.
But what really sets it apart is the Vibration Reduction (VR) system. It's a miracle! It works so well. At night I was able to get some good, sharp shots in without the typical night time ca...
