This review is from: Sigma 28-80mm F3.5-5.6 Mini Zoom Macro Aspherical for Nikon SLR Cameras (Electronics)

I have the same lens but for pentax and the images are taken with my Pentax K10D. Yes, as you will read about this lens it is 'soft.' Meaning that the image isn't entirely sharp. This can be rectified by uping your f stop to help increase sharpness and then in photo editing adding extra sharpness. The lens is very light and easy to use as it is made of plastic, but that's not bad. It focuses easily and zooms easily. For the price you can't go wrong. The lens gives very pleasing images and with slight photo editing they are very good images (though not excellent). Not a bad lens but realize what you are paying for.
