Title: Most of photos coming out are not sharp
Review: Having used zoom lenses in almost the same range from different producers (Nikon, canon, Sony, Promaster) I found this lens disappointing. Specially that I had high hopes to a Nikon built kit lens (my 18-55 is excellent).Most of the photos are out of focus and not sharp. The fact that some photos are sharp tells me that the focus is to be blamed (in a tripod setup , VR off).The VR (version 1) was a total disappointment to me too (again in comparison to Sony's in-body, Cannon and VRii on 18-55). It hardly compensates 1 stop for me (while I was hoping for 3). It appears to me that it does not even turn on sometimes (judging from the VR motor's noise).It is possible that the lens is defective but Amazon's ratings should also reflect quality control of products.I obtained the lens from overseas and I could not even use the Guarantee, but that's another story (my own greed for a 20% cheaper price).
Is the review positive or negative?
