Title: Okay for Expediency
Review: As long as you view the photographs under 100% magnification, it's okay. But at all focal lengths from 55mm to 200mm, it's soft. If I were Nikon, I'd be ashamed to put my label on it. But because it's so lightweight and inexpensive, I could see this lens being used for quick, utilitarian use that does not require much technical prowess from the lens. This would be a good lens for children and students in order to get acquainted with digital photography.What are the alternatives? The 18-200mm VR & VR II is much sharper. The 70-200mm F2.8 VR or VRII are the very best.
