This is an amazing lens. It is relatively new on the market and I wasn't sure how it would perform seeing as it has been labelled a "do-it-all" lens. So far, it has exceeded my expectations on my Nikon D700. I shoot just about everything but mostly people and travel.
Pros:
- - image quality is surprising considering the extreme zoom range
- - lightweight (compared to many other lenses in that category
- - focuses in very low light conditions
- - acceptable distortion (except when shooting vertical and/or horizontal lines
- - VR allows a couple of extra stops
- - solid build
Cons:
- - Expensive (but when you consider all the lenses it replaces
- it's a real bargain
- - Distortion at max wide and max long ends

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR
With the lens attached to a D700, auto-focus is generally fast (but not instant). On the F65, focusing worked well in good light, but became quite problematic in normal room lighting. The D700 had no such issues with the lens.

Superb allrounder
The focal range is fantastic. No need to carry several lenses. When the moment comes, your camera is ready to click. So this is the big advantage.

Awesome Upgrade to the Nikon 18-200mm
I owned the Nikon 18-200mm which I enjoyed and was sharp to about 120mm but was soft at the long end. The 28-300mm is a much sharper lens and is sharp from 200-300mm. I'm really enjoying this lens and can't believe how good the build quality is. There is no lens creep like the 18-200mm.
Pros:
- Awesome optics
- Not soft on long end
- No lens creep
- Psuedo macro
- Excellent Build Quality
- Fantastic clarity
Cons:
- Price

Jack of all trades
Any photographer will tell you that even the most expensive digital body is worthless without good glass to back it up, and it isn't too often you come across a superzoom like this one which ticks all of the boxes.

A little background - My first 28-300 was the very first lens I ever bought for my first digital SLR, and it was a Sigma. I took a lot of good photos with it, and thought it was a fine lens. As time went on, I bought better glass, and started seeing the shortcomings in it.

Nikon Quality
It is definately heavier than most lenses of this range. The lens has very smooth zoom but it is firm. I personally like the stiffness as i had a Tameron comperable lens and every time it hung down the lens zoom would extend itself to full length and then unveriably you would bang it.
