I am very impressed with this lens! I use this with my Nikon D5100 and it takes stunning photos and video. It provides an impressive depth of field while keeping your subject sharp. The autofocus is quick and pretty quiet for the most part. The quality of the lens housing may not be as nice as some of the more pricier lenses but it's definitely not cheap feeling. Overall this lens can't be beat at this price point and I would consider it the best "bang for your buck" lens for Nikon cameras. It's a must have in the camera bag. I can't find a single bad thing to say about it.
What's great about it: Quality Photos/Videos, Convenient, Inexpensive
