First, rumors have it that this lens is made in two locations:
China and Japan. Amazon gave me a Japan model which I hear is supposed to have gone through more rigorous quality control. The lens is light and feels much cheaper and clunkier than any Nikkor/Nikon I've ever used. The autofocus is slow (not sure if it's slower than the old screw-drive version), but accurate. I have a Tamron 28-300 VC that autofocus similarly (in little baby steps). I use it at indoor parties and it's tolerable so long as people aren't dancing around. The optics are very sharp and I'm USUALLY satisfied with shots at f2.8.
There have also been, however, some unusual problems:
When I first got the lens, I occasionally got the f - - on my D80 indicating a poor electrical connection. I need to wriggle the lens around. Secondly, sometimes when I didn't see that error, the lens would not respond (try to engage autofocus with the shutter but no response). This has happened twice out of the maybe 30 times I've used

So much of this lens I liked -- the size, the 2.8 throughout, the price, and it looks good, too. But, I shot a fashion show event for my first time with it and I wished I left it home. The focusing was very inconsistent -- mainly way behind the subject. One shot I remember of two models right in front of me and I focused right on them but only the store fixtures way behind them were sharp. Maybe I got a bad copy, but I returned it and probably won't go to Tamron for a lens soon. I've had two other Tamrons and they just don't justify the lower price to me. I don't want to go through trying alot of different copies -- I want something that works correctly now. Thanks to Amazon for being so quick with their refund.

This is one of the best walk-around lens you can buy for your Nikon camera. This new version has a built-in motor, which makes it compatible with D40/D40x/D60 AF-S only cameras (using it with D40). The lens is very sharp, fast and well made.
