No Brainer [Posted on 2008-08-29]
This lens is a no brainer. The value for your dollar spent is very high. This is not the sharpest tele lens on the market, but to get a significant improvement one would need to spend nearly 10 times the amount I paid direct from Amazon. Even at full retail price this lens is a great buy. Getting it at a very nice discount is icing on the cake.
I'm more of a wide angle shooter so a tele lens is just something extra to have available for specific events. It's not my walk around lens, but I have taken nice shots of the kids at the 55 mark. If you have no intention of getting Nikon's 18-200 then this is the one.
As a side note...make sure you buy from an authorized dealer (Amazon is authorized) or you may not get the 5 year warranty coverage. Amazon doesn't always broker merchandise through authorized dealers so make sure you know who you are buying from before you hit that last button. Amazon really did a nice job on this order. Arrived NEXT DAY even though I only paid for 2 day shipping.

No complaints, I use it in addition to the 18-55 that came with my d40x.
Totally love it! [Posted on 2008-08-30]
There are so many good reviews already, I just wanted to say again what a great lens this is! I take pictures of my baby with it all the time, and can't believe how well this lens performs.
Slow, but considering the price it's not bad at all. [Posted on 2008-09-18]
I was quite disappointed with the auto-focus of this lens coz it's slow, but considering that it's cheap, it's not bad at all.
Nice! [Posted on 2008-10-02]
Very sharp lens, smooth zoom, light, a great lens that goes with nikon's d40, d40x, and d60 :)
