"This lens is a steal at the current price. I have used it for everything - portraits, sports, family gatherings, and the results are amazing."

"This lens is a magnificent buy, and certainly rivals that of the Nikkor and Tamron very well."

"I love the lens, but hate the AF motor. Its a good lens, if you dont need to be quiet at all times."

FYI - The Current Version of this Lens has a built in auto-focus motor. So it *will* Autofocus with all Nikons.
