I have done my lens on my Nikon D40. Reasons for the new acquisition was primarily the more focal length (compared to the Kit-Obektiv) and the stabilizer. The quality is comparable to the quality Nikon standard. Optically the lens for the camera has a relatively small bulky, but is close to my camera now heavier, calmer and more balanced in your hand than before, which I - endowed by nature with rather large hands - well like. The stabilizer is working excellently. I have even sample images with longer exposure time out of the hand (1 / 2s) and leaning against a wall (2.5s.) Succeeded in what exceeded my expectations. The first endurance test has survived great at sports photos in a snowstorm the lens. The autofocus is fast and accurate. Sharpness and color reproduction are accustomed "niko moderately" well. Despite the adverse conditions I barely had botched pictures, and that despite the frequently used focal length of 105mm. When kit lens I had a lot more committee itself in better weather conditions. The second difficult photo shoot - concert recordings at 105mm focal length evening in a very different lit hall - is given the limited aperture size (5.6) running better than expected: back sharp, atmospherically dense images without large committee. For amateur photographers who are looking for a good and affordable Always plan, is the lens, I think, a real recommendation.
