This is the first time I have ordered a lens without testing it out first. I hope it lives up to its billing, otherwise I may have made an expensive mistake!

I hope to be able to replace both the 18-105 and 70-300 lenses with this one as a general walkabout lens for my trusted workhorse D7K.

The D7000 looks like a machine gun now! :P
