Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars by 239 users at B&H Photo Video

"Very accurate color rendition, and overall sharpness are the key features, which primarily differentiates it from the 'kit' lenses."

"love this lens, the wide angle is spectacular, very quick and silent, great for landscapes or street photography, slightly heavy but very portable."

"This doesn't have the distortion and is sharper than the 18-200mm Nikkor."
