One word, WOW!

This lens is the most versatile lens I have ever seen. This is by far the perfect lens for any situation IMO because it contains almost all the focal lenghts you need. (Is this a full frame lens too? That would be even more amazing)

I think this won't come off your D7000 for a long long time.

Stunning pictures.

its a DX lens hence best for crop bodies only...though operational on full-frame..

Best Combo...D7000 + 18-300VRII. Awesome!

I would agree about the lens. The pictures will improve once a lens correction profile is available for it in LightRoom.

Well, my other favorite combo is a 28-300 on D3X, but this combo will hold its own against pretty much anything out there for now.

Those are some excellent shot... Is it the man behind the camera or the camera itself.
