On crop, it's the standard wide to normal zoom. Very well built, keeps it's value ok, though obviously far better if you buy second hand (theres on in classifieds and one on mpb at the moment), and it's nikon professional glass, meaning you could use it as a hammer, and it's sharp...

no relation, but been a happy customer. Whitey is also selling one in classifieds, which is mint, at the moment iirc.
