Cons: AF is fairly slow, but is rarely hunting. Not world class optical performance - distortion and optical resolution could be better. A rather heavy piece of glass.
Pros: I find the zoom range to be absolutely perfect for most of my work as a nature photographer. All from landscapes to semi-macro work is does well, without the need to change lenses all the time. The ability to focus down to 0.5 meters at 300 mm is extremely useful, all though it is not actually 300 mm in this situation (more like 100 mm). AF works well and is dead on, even in low light on my D610.
Summary: Extremely versatile lens. What it lacks in optical performance is by far surpassed by the large zoom range and the semi-macro capability. I could not live without it.

Cons: Little slow and would prefer a brighter lens (who would not) Slightly soft, but this is to be expected for the range. Autofocus still slow, but it has to cover a large range.
Pros: Enable shots not to be missed better to have something in the bag than not at all. Great for Street carnivals and such Slow lens, but really with cameras going up to riduculas ISO ranges this is less of a problem Colour rendition superb
Summary: I hear lots of moans about bad focus and softness. STOP YOU NEED TO CALIBRATE THIS LENS that is to say each camera has to be set with the fine tune my D800 is +5 this improves the lens no-end the same for the 24-70, 14-24 & 70-200 DO NOT EXPECT MUCH straight out of the box Was Expecting real crap, got pleasantly surprised will use this when many lens changes are needed ie at zoo and general walk about. Indoors the 24-70 is better I would recommend this lens DONT FORGET to download the latest Distortion table from nikon this corrects the lens distortion on the fly Am happy to comment my email is john@gabris.us

Cons: Very sharp at all focal lengths, even with Tamron 1.4 pro converter! Focuses v. fast even in low (non-existent!) light, reasonably light & compact for range (cf. equivalent Canon lens...). o v. good indeed.Great as single walk-about lens, especially for nature & portrait photography, nacr
Pros: Very significant distortion at virtually all focal lengths, requiring correction in any photo with straight lines, NOT for architectural photography, also noticeable vignetting at either end of zoom range, esp. wide open
Summary: Very good indeed as general-purpose lens, despite cost. Highly recommended
