newbie question

is the Nikon Zoom-Nikkor 28-80mm F/3.3-5.6 AF G Aspherical Lens worth looking into for 35$.
i have the 18-55 anf 50-200 already.
Mind you this 28-80 is yucky silver but if it works good think it might be worth looking into for my D5000.

Opinions needed.
Thanks eh!

Have a read here, I for one has not used it.

Nikon 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6G

review seems to suggest I get it.

You have this length covered with your other lens...The only reason I would buy some thing in the same length would be if it was a much better lens...I'm sure this lens isn't better then what you have..

I have this lens [below] it's one of the first that I bought...

It's the lightest lens in my arsenal and as a walkabout lens, it's fine. I really like the fact that it lets me get very close to my subjects if need to be.

It's probably NOT as sharp as your 18-55, but for 35 $, it can be useful.

Looks like a good lens, but since it is not an AF-S lens, you'll need to manaully focus it on your D5000.
