Pros:	Light, VR, Inexpensive, Covers a wide range of focal lengths, Sharp - overlooked lens on DX - barrel does NOT rotate
Cons:	build quality, plastic mount, dark view...

Great for daily or vacation Photos, I was surprised by this lens as it's optical performance is much better than it's reputation. Dark view needs +1 EV.
This is the smallest, lightest, best model... Covers a lot of focal ranges and has VR to boot. For the price used this lens can't be beat, you can buy one in the $75 range...
