great lens for Nikon D5000 starter, July 21, 2009
By H. Du "Nikon for Du" (Maryland)
IT's one of the better lens that doesnt get much prop., it works great with my
D5000.
- take great picture, (little under expose indoor but D-lighting always adjust,
outdoor create smooth and very soft bokeh)
- decent focus and great close up and good wide-angle shot.
- cant beat the price for this value comparing to the kit lense, save that money
for the Nikon-55-200m or the Nikon 35mm 1.8 AF-S.
- Made from Japan!
Cant go wrong with this lens, oh make sure to add the Hoya HMC 58mm UV
protection with the extra $ saved. only about 22$!
Very good product for the price, November 9, 2008

I couldn't believe this lens was under 100 dlls. I've also got one in the
55-200mm range and it's just as good as this one. I bought it because a friend
of mine dropped the camera with the original nikon on it and it broke the
support. I chose it because I like a lot the other one I have. This one
autofocuses just as or faster than the nikon that comes standard with the
camera. Personally I prefer this one because it feels sturdier and the finish
makes it look less toy-like. It also has a metal attaching ring, not like the
nikon that has thin plastic one.
