Pros:	accurate auto focus, lightweight, macro mod
Cons:	poor in low light, not very durable

I bought this lens together with a Nikon D7200 and they create a perfect match. With the great sensitivity of the D7200 there is no need to bring another lens unless you do specialized work. Even inside your home most shots are excellent without a flash and it is definitely good to have that big range for close ups or that animal you do not desire to repel when relocating. Macro mode is exceptional. I lower 1 star simply due to the fact that I anticipate reduced durability due to the plastic that is made use of on this lens. I want to see for example a metal thread for filters since the threads of the plastic can be used out rapidly. On the other hand usage of plastic save weight which contributes to this lens being a companion that you will not mind bringing along. Not for pro photographers but great lens for everyday amateur use.
