This is truly a great lens. I've been using it for a couple of years with D60 and I am totally happy with it. It is wide, wider than you would expect it to be. It is quick and sharp. If you know what you are shooting the lens will never miss focus. Sometimes it gives you limitation on the long side, but then again, it is not meant to be a tele. The zoom ring is very convenient, the build is very good. Finally, it is big and looks sexy, especially with the native hood. Back when I was buying it, I wished it were less expensive, yes, but since then I've never thought about the price again.

Yes, I would agree it is an excellent lens. It's great for travel and for all-round use. The 2-3 stops of IS combined with today's cameras with good high(er) ISO performance makes this a good choice.
