Good for the Amateur - better than your kit lens [Posted on 2008-03-13]
I bought this for use with a D50. It gave very crisp and full color images. The non-static aperture isn't really a problem for people who want family pictures that are better than an little point and shoot camera can give since likely they won't be shooting manually anyway.
But keep in mind that the reason this is inexpensive is because the aperture doesn't go to a very low number - so it's not as useful indoors. Since the aperture can't go to a low number, it's not good in dark situations or indoors without a speedlight It's spectacular outdoors, however.
This makes a good 'walk around' outdoor lens when paired with a 50mm 1.8 lens for the indoor shots. The 50mm 1.8 lets you do your indoor shots and not get as grainy or out of focus images and is sharp and inexpensive. In contrast, this lets you get those beautiful and rich outdoor shots.
So I recommend this lens for anyone who uses their DSLR on automatic and wants crisper and richer images than their kit lenses can produce. It's a great value for a very useful zoom with a large range. And you definitely won't complain about the image quality outdoors.
