The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Cons:It 'a little weak on the sharpness and the general color rendering, spontaneous tendency to stretching Zoom if pointed downward or upward, some minor incompatibilities with the latest generation of Nikon (standby).
Opinion:I bought this light along with the SLR, for me the bones before I realized what I needed optics, with the understanding that to have such a wide focal length was a compromise on image quality and performance in general. Nevertheless, it is an honest optics, built in plastic materials (TSC) but not for that of poor workmanship, and does what it is that is built to be as versatile as possible with a decent quality and with a usability in terms of focus really good. Chromatic aberrations are minimal and very low distortion over the entire focal length, however, remains dim and to exploit the zoom there really need much light because the stabilizer does not work miracles to 250mm. The buy back? Yes and No .... Yes, because it is the perfect perspective to take on trips, a true lightweight all-rounder that is worth all the money it costs. No, because: I found usare very little telephoto zoom and prefer smaller but of higher quality and brightness.
Pros:Truly versatile, with a wide-angle and zoom pushed ready for any situation
Cons:not very bright, perhaps it needs a lens with a larger diameter.
Opinion:After you purchase 18-200 f3.5 brother, I bought this with a longer focal length and I did not regret. R 'clear that when darkness falls I have to put it away, but was able to get away even on a dark room, obviously not with moving subjects. I'm thinking of buying the next 18-300 F3.5. Lightweight and quiet. I advise.
Pros:Improved external aesthetic materials, a good focus even if not extremely fast, handy if you want to bring along different optical focal differente.È 'a perspective that keeps its price on the market of' used if you plan to sell.
Cons:Autofocus slow and sometimes inaccurate, not very bright, the longest focal length will denote light games on joints that long can cause problems to 'telescope itself.
Opinion:Practical as in 'groups together various focal has a cost quite affordable, I think it is suitable for those who want to embark on this wonderful hobby and then move on optical quality' superiore.Peso not excessive in 'insieme.Si can also find good deals in the market dell 'usato.rnRispetto to 18-200 classic gives you photographic performance very different.

Pros:Good focal length, you have available what you need.
Cons:Extends and / or retracts alone when shooting in low or high, you should always keep it in place in these situations. And 'noisy in focus, autofocus is fast in low light situations. Not recommended for shooting video, the zoom goes in spurts and you hear all the noise of the autofocus in video.
Opinion:I bought this zoom all do because I did not want to spend a figure exaggerated and yet have provisions to all focal serving more, but one thing at a relatively cheap ......... rnPer else some decent photos I the does do, I always mounted in the car, being a zoom handyman is comfortable, and all in all is fairly good.
Pros:Solid, well finished, good materials, good shutter speed and focus.
Cons:Being an all do, in my opinion it does not.
Opinion:I could try the lens this summer, and I must say I was not disappointed at all, shutter speed and focus good. Obviously using the zoom, the brightness is sacrificed, but for a whole do, a lens that allows you to do some all, without having to carry around 3-4 targets, is an excellent result, among other things for a photographer of passion professional and not think it's a great product.
