Nice Range For Most Situations

Review Date: February 17, 2007

Reviewer: Pork Chop Kid, Lancaster PA

This is what I condsider my "base" lens. If I grab my D50 and run out the door with just one lens, this is it. Most of my picture taking happens with this lens. Picture quality has been very acceptable. This is not a macro lens but I have been able to get closer to things than I expected. The lens is small, light, and focus is fast and precise. Well worth the low cost.

Excellent little lens

This lens for its price is beyond expectation. Good clean sharp photos.
I use it for a portrait lens and carry it on my camera at all times.
This lens is as sharp as my Nikkor 18-70mm kit lens.

TRULY VERSATILE NIKON LENSE

Have worked with Nikon Nikkor lenses for many years; this lense is awesome. If you are looking for professional results, then this is the "glass" for you. Excellent for portraits; just about any photography event you're tasked to fulfill. Cherish it and keep it well maintained by having it professionally serviced/cleaned on a regular basis. Truly a versatile Nikon lense.

Nice Basic Lens

This was bought as an exact replacement of the lens that came with my mom's Nikon D50. Somehow, she or one of my sisters broke a piece off of the original to where it wouldn't stay attached to the camera, so I found this lens for her. It isn't the fastest, but the pictures are clear and crisp. 28-80mm is a good range for versatility at family functions or any situation where you need to take a lot of pictures in different settings and don't have time to be changing out lenses. It's definitely worth the $60 (including shipping), unless you're doing some high end professional jobs, or if you just have that discerning eye, in which case you wouldn't be reading this post anyway, you would have skipped this lens altogether. All in all, for what it is, it's definitely worth the money. If you want something a little faster, look for an f/2.8 or smaller. When you see 2 numbers after the f/, that means it's variable and you lose speed when you zoom in on something. A highly recommended lens, in my opinion, is the Nikkor 50mm f/1.8. It's a fixed lens, meaning you can't zoom, but you can capture some beautiful images once you get used to it.

A surprising little lens

Review Date: March 18, 2010

While researching lenses to use photographing landscape and architecture on various online forums and review sites, I came across several references to this old lens. (see [...] to read the one that made me decide).

It turns out that this is an old kit lens for some ancient Nikon camera. It's plastic. It's silver-colored (although you might be able to find a black one). And it shouldn't be that good. The thing is that it IS quite good for some reason. Every once in a while the stars just come together to make a lens click and this was one of those rare occurrences.

I found it used, inexpensive, and thought I'd give it a try. I'm not at all disappointed. It's extremely versatile, it's fast, sharp, and responsive on my D-80. It has a very flexible zoom range that doesn't require changing lenses for most purposes. It's very light, so it's a great walking-around lens. And, best of all, it produces beautiful photos.

My only regret is that, at the time I gave in to my impulse, I couldn't find an all-black one. The silver (plastic silver at that) does sort of look like a toy. But it doesn't matter. I'm delighted with my lens and it's become a favorite.
