Fair lens, but workable

There's not much you can say about this lens that doesn't seem unfair considering it's typical 175 dollar price point. It's a small, cheap feeling lens that has reasonable quality optics. The real question is whether it's worth keeping when lenses like the 18-70 and 18-200VR are out. The short answer is NO, unless you simply can't afford those lenses. If you don't use the shorter focal ranges, a 28-200G will blow the 18-55 away...and you can just hang on to the 18-55 for occasions when you do run into a need for the wider angle. Technology has trickled down allowing a low cost lens like this to perform nicely, but I don't want one. The build quality is poor. It's slow, suffers from a bit more CA than the more expensive siblings and isn't true AFS. In fact my non-AFS lenses focus faster in some cases. My 18-70 was clearly better, but at twice the price of course.
My current lenses are Nikon 70-200VR, Nikon 28-200G, Tamron 90 Macro, Nikon 18-200 VR and 50mm 1.8
