This lens (the kit lens for the D80) is getting great reviews, usually to the surprise of the reviewers. For example it has been tested at www.slrgear.com, listed in "NIKON Lens: Zoom"
On my walk-abouts with the D80, I have only used this lens (so far). I wasn't that impressed, I only got it because where I was buying from would only sell the Kit.
The D80 with this lens locks in on focus quickly and extremely quietly. I was shocked several times that I reached focus, and did not feel the camera do anything. I obviously find the range past 55mm very useful.
Do I have something much better here than I expected?
