    Duration of ownership: 60 Days

    Strengths: Really helps novice photographer.

    Weaknesses:None, yet.

    Overall Evaluation: This is an upgrade I made to my new camera package. I don't really know much about photography yet but my friend strongerly recommended that I get the VR lens and I'm assuming that is one of the reasons why but my photos turn out beautifully. Like I said, I'm still learning...

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Can shoot in low light, slower shutter speed and still get pretty sharp pictures.

    Weaknesses:Zoom ring seems to be slightly tighter then the non-VR version, otherwise no weakness I can see.

    Overall Evaluation: I had a 18-55mm II lens that came with my D40, and it shoots pretty nice pictures and does a good job. However, pictures that are below 1/30 are usually blurry when it's hand held, which is expected. So I decided to upgrade to the 18-55mm VR, which is suppose to counter handshaking of your camera. It does a pretty good job I would have to say, I have shot at 1/30, 1/20, 1/10, and 1/8 and still able to get pretty sharp pictures that would otherwise be very blurry if I was holding the camera.If you have the money, don't like carrying tripod all the time, and don't use flash too often this lens is good for you. However, just make sure you do know what this lens is capable of and what it is not. It only counters your handshake of the camera. This lens will NOT stop motion, and will not stop panning, if you need to stop motion just go get a flash (SB400 for around $100) or the 50mm f/1.8 lens which cost around $100.
