 Great lens that hunts a little to much August 28, 2008
This lens is an excellent Macro lens...The only thing that prevents 5 stars is that the lens tends to hunt too much and will hang up at one end of the focal range or the other. When not hunting, however it provides crystal clear images and color quality is outstanding, as well as wonderful Bokteh....

have had this lens for over a year, using it on a Nikon D80. it's performed extremely well. in very rare cases it's a little slow to focus, specifically in low-light conditions. would buy it again.

This is a great lens - it`s as sharp as it gets, has no distortions, focuses down to 1:1, it`s fast and does beautiful bokeh.
However, there are some cons - it is heavy and has minor focusing problems when in low light (on my d40x - can`t say for other models). The VR is great, but also intended for objects 3m or more away. Under that, it gradually loses stability.
Consider also it is a prime lens, meaning, there is no zoom. You will probably need to carry around additional lens if you don`t want to miss a shot. This is a must have lens for portrait and macro photography. However, if you plan on making tourist shots, cut on the bokeh and get the all-round 18-200mm. It`s slower (f3.5-5.6), but far more practical and somewhat cheaper. You can`t miss with either one. Good luck!

I received this lens in very good shape and have used this on about 30 pictures and the resolution is great. I can hold the camera in my handsfor sevral pictures but it works best to use a tripod for very steady pictures as I like very close up images. It can be used for portraits and close ups as it has a very narrow viewing angle and I go to the zoom lens for the rest. I used a Nikon D200 for these pictures
 Not worth the money!! July 1, 2008

A good lens, but save your dollars and buy the older model, or the Tamron 90 macro. VR does not work up close, and that's the selling point of this lens. If you have to go manual for a macro shot, any of the other macros will suffice. I recently sold mine on ebay as I found that my Tamron 90 macro was just as sharp!! At half the price!!! Also, the 18-200 Nikon offers very good basic macro, and is much more of an all around lens!!
