Underated Lens This lens seems to get consistently trashed in reviews but I find it to be a perfect walk around lens for my d750. Compact, light and good looking, it delivers very acceptable to excellent images at all focal lengths. If you are a gear snob or "pixel peeper" maybe it's not for you, but I love getting good value for the money I spend. By the way, mine is the non Di version of this lens. Huge zoom range is a big plus too!
You can get a much better lens for about the same low price I bought a D700 to try full frame and use my old Nikon lenses. I wanted an inexpensive universal zoom lens with auto focus to see how the modern system works. I've been a well satisfied Lumix Micro 4/3 guy for years and am familiar with modern auto everything cameras, but not full frame. This Nikon zoom is pretty old technology. It doesn't focus close, the zoom has a little "grind in it", not smooth, and the front rotates as it focuses so it needs a rediculous huge round lens shade. It's a compromise. Worked fine, decent results, but clumsy. If I had looked more carefully I would have noticed the Tamron 28-300 zoom a newer and more versatile lens, macro focusing and a better zoom range than the Nikon lens I'm reviewing here. It's clean and compact. It is pretty well reviewed and I like the results. The Tamron cost about the same as the Nikon on Ebay. Caveat emptor.Read full review
An old lens that's worth a look An old screwdrivers lens thats very plastically and light, a bit rattly but is quite compact for it's zoom range also is surprisingly sharp and can focus reasonably closely making it a good travel lens
