Excellent standard zoom lens. Sharp results and very quick to focus. When attached to the D200 and D300 it produces professional results at a fraction of the weight of the F2.8 pro lenses.

I have mixed feelings about this lens!
The good: zoom range is about the best in its class; AF-S focusing is swift & very quiet; generally low levels of chromatic aberration; resolution generally good.
The not so good: contrast on the low side; softness in corners; distortion at 18mm is significant; vignetting at 18mm f3.5 can require correction in software.
Summary: Ive considered replacing this with the Tamrom 17-50mm f2.8, but would miss that bit extra at the long end along with the AF-S focusing. The only place to go from here is either the 17-55mm f2.8 Nikkor or, as I am doing, replacing it with the 18-200 VR Nikkor lens.
