Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I ordered this on 4/24/14 and received it on 4/26. I used it that day and the next and so far I am very impressed. I'm using it on a D300. There are purists that will say that all super zooms are garbage, but I've been shooting as a hobbyist since the 60's and this is the best zoom lens I've ever had. Very sharp, with fast and accurate focusing. I was trying to decide between the previous (heavier) Nikkor 18-300 and the forthcoming Tamron 16-300, then this lens came along. I think I made the right decision.
