Pros:Lightweight, fast focus despite its age, more than good sharpness, easy to carry around.
Cons:Plasticky body, no VR, plastic bayonet, autofocus does not work with old SLRs (D40, D80) and with the new mirrorless Nikon +FTZ, not very bright
Opinion:It was my intention to put it on sale considering the lack of use, also because I own Nikon zooms and other brands with similar characteristics. Purchased back in 1995 combined with an analog reflex body (the excellent F90X). It has been in the drawer for a long time and recently dusted off to compare it with more current optics. Well... It surprised me positively. Still valid from the point of view of sharpness (good up to the focal length 150 mm) and the colors it churns out, even the focus amazed me, it was still fast and without hesitation. It has no optical distortion but the sharpness drops significantly at the longest focal length. Of course, it cannot be compared to more recent optics or to the emblazoned and more performing ones, but I think for the cost I see in the used (we are talking about costs even lower than 50 euros) I decided to keep it. With APSC machines it becomes a 120-300. I recommend the purchase to those who are looking for a decent telephoto zoom without huge pretensions.

Cons:I don't know... Dark, if we want to find a fault with it!
Opinion:I don't think you can find any "cons", those who buy it know what to expect so I can't speak ill of it! What really blew me away is the focus on my D610: precise! (Or at least what I have is really great). I don't even try to use it manually! Slow focusing? Maybe but it doesn't seem like it to me, I'm perfectly fine with that. Lightweight, economical... I'm very happy with this zoom, paid used only 60€ but it doesn't have a scratch even looking for it with the magnifying glass! Never was a purchase more apt! ---- August 2023 Update. Used for outdoor portraits it gave me fantastic images, if the light is favorable you can do without the :85 1.4 or 1.8... Obviously not indoors. ---- October 2023 Update The more I use it, the more I am convinced of the high quality of this super cheap zoom, tell me that I am a fool or a clueless but I prefer portraits made with this lens than those made with the af-s 50/1.8 or the af-s 85/1.8.... De gustibus? ---- Update October 28, 2023, Well, I exaggerated a bit, I took a better look at the portraits taken with the 85/1.8... they are quite different when viewed at high magnifications. However, this zoom defends itself well!
Pros:weight, is very light, colors, focal range, price in used
Cons:AF a little slow, sharpness not comparable to current standards
Opinion:Lens that is a few tens of euros but that is absolutely worthy of being part of a kit type D700 or all cameras up to 12 megapixels. Beautiful color rendering, typical of af-d lenses. It suffers only from a little slowness in focusing but nothing tragic. For what it costs and the weight it has in relation to the focal lengths it covers I would absolutely recommend it, the ideal lens to enjoy the SLR with a medium telephoto without tiring neck and shoulder.
