Superzoom lens+ relatively compact+ well balanced with D7xxx bodies

The fast zoom of the lens works like a air pump, making the lens very prominent to suck dust to the inside.- big pieces of dust in the internal focus lenses and lens close to the aperture can be visible starting F/11;- The internal construction is very...
