Pros: Pretty good in the daytime. Versatile during a trip or vacation, it solves almost any situation. Small and discreet (if black). Backlash-free construction. Very light...

Cons: ... too light, micro blur always lurking. Optically it does not excel, it loses contrast and detail especially at the corners by increasing the focal length. Versatile yes but then you feel like changing it for something much better.

Opinion: Taken for just over € 50 in the silver version (the indiscreet version :-D ). Wide versatility given the focal range, and closed it has the same footprint as an 18-55! It has a nice minimum focus of 0.44m, which however must be used carefully to get something good, i.e. very small aperture, fast shutter speed if handheld, or tripod. On Nikon D610 it's not bad, but it takes attention and a very steady hand to use it at maximum focal length without creating micro-blur. Also excellent on aps-c sensor. Ok during the day, for trips and holidays and in situations where you can't change your lens (a boon). But then you feel the need for something else...

Pros: Lightness yet plasticky

Cons: It lacks VR, plásticoso, (but light), vignette quite short focal length (28-35mm) as well as blurring the edges in a conspicuous way, Images not very sharp

Opinion: Given the success of the 28-80 f1:3.3-5.6 I decided to get this 28-200 as well to extend the focal range. I preferred the silver ones that many people don't like but I find them so vintage! Mounted on D3200, it works in manual but with the focus ring, even if reduced in rotation, it focuses well. With these AF/G series you can do great in terms of focal range: they cost little but do not yield much. A little bit of softness at 200mm... but it can be! And then at 200mm you need the tripod unless you have marble hand/wrist. At short focal lengths it flounders a lot, but what can that price be expected? As a travel optic, it's fine. I recommend that those who want to buy it stay with an 8/11 aperture for the best sharpness. Too bad vignettes in the short focal lengths forcing you to intervene in post, it has a bit of chromatic aberration but it is only noticeable at very high magnification. Watch out for the graft because it is made of plastic! Update October 2023 The more I use it, the less I like it: the specimen in my possession I noticed distorts quite a bit at all focal lengths... But it's also always handy as an all-rounder if you agree to intervene heavily in post-production.

Pros: colors, contrast, weight, size, sharpness

Cons: hard to find, some artifacts against the light

Opinion: Very compact and light lens for the excursion it offers, a handyman of excellent quality, excellent wide angle, good normal and good canvases. Very good sharpness, great colors. Bright in relation to the extremely compact size thanks to the absence of stabilization. I'm now preferring it to the excellent 28-300 3.5-5.6 stabilized, which however weighs more than double. The usability of this lens is amazing, a joy to carry it with you, and in my opinion combined with the 20 f / 1.8, the 50 1.4 and the 85 1.8 forms a kit with bows. It is so good that the owners do not get used to it easily and it has become very rare: its price increases with the passage of time, now it is difficult to find it under 200 euros. I recommend it to those who go to the point and look for quality compact optics without many frills. Of course, you can not expect from such an object the extreme brightness, stabilization or that splits the pixels under a microscope: those who want perfection and a stellar yield will have to resign themselves to spending quite a bit to bring with them beasts, such as the AF-S NIKKOR 24-70 mm f / 2.8E ED VR which weighs 1,067 grams and costs 1,700 euros + the 70-200mm VR II AF-S G ED which weighs 1,540 gr and costs 2,500 euros. We are talking about 200 euros vs 3,200 euros and 360 gr vs 2,600 gr .... it cannot be the same thing. But if the anxiety of technical perfection must go to the detriment of joy and manageability, I prefer to take home a good shot in fluency than NOT to take home a perfect shot, having left the boulders in the car or at home.

Pros: Light, very good focal range, price used

Cons: If you buy this optics is because you are satisfied.

Opinion: Purchased used for €80. The lens despite being almost everything in plastic except the lenses and screws from how outwardly you can see it works very well and without appreciable games. The yield in general I would call it more than good so much so that for general photos I keep constantly mounted on my D700. I think it's a guessed goal.

Pros: Used price, focal excursion, weight, size, FX.

Cons: Dark, not sharp, not stabilized.

Opinion: Contestualizziamo the whole: "A lens FX of reasonable size, which weighs less than 4 ects, covering from 28 to 200, found used to little more than 100" must necessarily have some defects: it is dark, not stabilized and does not break the hair. If you can live with these limits you will have a whole lens do with a great value for money, from reasonable performance.
