Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The 18-140mm lens is heavier and bulkier than the 18-55mm. The images are crystal clear. For me this one lense covers 80% of the focal range i use.

It is completely compatible with the nikon d5100. Easily installed for initial (and all later) use. I use this lens most of the time on my nikon d 7100 and it is super.

Autofocus is reliable, and usually fast enough. It has a silent microphone in the lens as opposed to a motor in the body. I want toclarify that in the previous lens it did focus automatically.



Cons

Even stories of the mount breaking when a heavily padded camera bag fell only 2 inches. Amp; they advised that this lens comes as part of the d90 package and they have to repackage it to sell it separately--still seems shady to me.

Not worth the retail price, and not even the used priced listed here. This is really annoyed. I now have to get the lens repaired.

Autofocus is a deal breaker for me. The bayonet mount nikon uses on their lenses seems to have changed from a metal piece to a flimsy plastic one. Only buy lenses with metal mounts and avoid any nikon plastic mount.

Quality


I say little because it so easy to mount and useand the quality is what you want every time


Pet pictures works great with the onboard flash


I would recommend though as the picture quality is great


No problem with quality weight ease of use

Competitiveness


Purchased for my older d7000 nikon dslr


The weight is almost the same as the nikon d3200 body


I could blow them up to 16x20 and it held its resolution just fine


I should at the least get a discount for purchasing a “renewed” lens for a “new” price
