I WILL EXCHANGE IT FOR A 18-200 VC ED NIKON
Is this compatible with the Nikon D 5100 and is a better lens option compared to the Nikon 55-300 lens?
The cons that I can say about this lens is how soft it is around 200+mm.
The most acceptable quality will be around 80-170mm then really sharp around 18-50mm, wouldn't use this for serious work though, you will be disappointed by the quality, especially when doing large prints, I'd prefer using primes.
The PZD isn't that slow, nor is it lighting quick, and the VC does a great job too! I've heard about problems with the VC about this lens, but then I must be lucky to have a perfectly working one, it even outperforms the Nikon VR system, but then must be cause I received a good copy, and not all have the same ones.
Bokeh-wise, it's seriously not built for that, so you better forget about it. Bokeh is oh-so distracting, making circle donut halos for highlights and sharp-edged circles for others.
But overall, I'd say this is a perfect bring-everywhere-you-go lens. It's for the travel photographer who would pair this up with a suitable prime and is good to go, or it can be the perfect lens for a budding photojournalist working for the school paper, saves him/her from changing lenses, and losing needed shots.
