Want a screaming bargain on a fast professional midrange zoom? Get one of these while you still can. They went out of production in 2006. Previously I’ve questioned the utility of any lens which can only zoom 40% either way from 50mm, and is far bigger, slower and more expensive than any fixed 50mm lens, but I’ve become more open minded in my old age. For those of you who need to zoom instead of move forward and back, this is a great lens. READ FULL REVIEW

24 Jul 2009I bought this lens to use with a N50 as my firts amature entry into the world of Nikon. I have been delighted with the quality and value and recommend the combination for any novice who wants to advance beyond the snapshot range. Or for that matter, any serious photographer who wants something to put in the hands of a spouse or kid so they’ll leave you alone while you work. They will be so delighted with their results that they won’t complain about the price of your toys.
