Nice Lens2009-06-23
I've used this lens for a week with my D90. I shoot wildlife and nature. Autofocus is fast and solid. Focus ring is smooth, zoom ring has one snug spot. At this length I'm not worried if flash works at all. I have uploaded several pictures that out of the camera could not be improved!
Inexpensive quality lens2009-05-30
this is an inexpensive and quality zoom lens. It is amazing to me that I ordered it and the following day it arrived. This lens does need a fair amount of light but it was bought for outdoors shooting. A good product.
Camera Lens - Wonderful :)2009-03-30
I really really loved this lens. It works perfectly with my camera and has allowed me to take AWESOME pictures. Thank you very much for providing such a wonderful camera lens. Might I add, the delivery was quick and the price...very affordable.
D90 owners look here . . .2009-03-24
Lots of useful things have been said about this lens by other reviewers, so I'm only filling folks in on the question that some other D90 owners are, no doubt, asking. Can I use this lens with my D90?

This lens does, repeat, DOES work on the D90. Happy news for folks on a budget (or for whom the D90 purchase blew their budget (wink)).

I used this lens to photograph my son's Pinewood Derby at the local mall the other night. On my D90, the autofocus is responsive, exposures are correct, sharpness is okay--certainly good enough for family photos, soccer games, and the like. The manual focus ring is located at the _front_ of the lens, which takes a bit of getting used to. There is no Auto/manual focus selector on the lens, so to focus manually (such as when using the video mode of the D90), you must select "manual focus" on the camera body. Easy enough to do.

For a bit more information, Howard Creech has an excellent review of this lens on epinions.

I'm more than happy with this lens. I may step up to better glass at some point, but for my regular, everyday uses, this lens is an unbeatable bargain.

My review:
5 stars - very nice lens for the price
minus 1 star - not as sharp as some other similar zooms by Nikon

4 stars
Good lens but not work well on Nikon D602009-03-05
On the Nikon D60, this lens has no AF if that is what you are looking for. I returned mine for the Nikon 55-200mm which also has the VR, and I'm looking forward to using as soon as it arrives.

Core 2 Duo Scaling
Laptop Scaling Intel's Core 2 Duo is easily the best mobile processor on the market today, boasting sky-high performance and low power consumption. But which CPU is for you: the super expensive T7600, the bargain-priced T5500, or something in between? This article will first take a look at the various versions of Core 2 Duo that Intel has to offer. We will compare Core 2 Duo clocked at four speed grades: 2.33GHz, 2.16GHz, 2GHz, and 1.83GHz in a variety of benchmarks and let you know how to get your best bang for the buck. Note: We will refer to a Core 2 Duo “T7000�multiple times in this article. We were unable to get a Merom sample with 2MB L2 cache, thus we lowered the clock speed of our 4MB L2 model to 1.83GHz to perform near that of the T5600 (1.83GHz, 2MB L2 cache), resulting in our unofficial “T7000�nomenclature. The Core 2 Duo Processor Intel has two lines of Core 2 Duo processors: notebook and desktop. Core 2 Duo for notebooks is codenamed Merom, while Core ...
Driving with a cell phone is a lot less dangerous than driving on prescription drugs
There's a lot of debate today about the safety of using cell phones while driving. Statistics show that those who use cell phones while driving cause a much greater percentage of accidents than those who avoid using their cell phones. And the studies have shown that it's not just the physical coordination required to punch numbers into the cell phone while you're trying to work the vehicle that causes accidents; it's actually the lack of attention resulting from driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. It seems that when you're distracted, you're more likely to cause accidents. In terms of public safety, it's probably correct to say that banning cell phones would reduce the number of traffic accidents. But I think, more accurately, it depends on the person. Some people are operating on, shall we say, lower power CPUs in their heads to begin with. They might be zoned out on prescription drugs, and when you add a cell phone to the equation, they do become a danger to the ...
