Query: Great zoom lens for the average user

Premium Nikkor optics in a budget priced lens make this one a winner. Having a polycarbonate body, the lens doesn't feel as solid as the old metal framed ones some of us had gotten used to, but for the price difference, it's fully acceptable. If you're used to lenses with a aperature ring then it might take some time to get used to the lack of one on this lens. The quality optics really show with this lens, with no real noticable distrtion or vignetting. What is noticable is the zoom tends to creep when when the camera is pointed nearly straight up or down. This is unacceptable if you want to use the lens for long exposures as the zoom creep will be noticable on the final image, and that's the only reason I'm knocking this lens' rating down to 4 stars for my review. Overall, this is a fine lens for the average photographer on a budget.
