I would save the money?
Hey, i looked at this lens a few months back, it was been sold by a charity, they wanted £120 for it, i took it as it was cheap and seemed to offer what i wanted. But the lens is slow, slow focus, poor at low light, not very sharp, distortions. So i sent it to ebay and managed to get more or less my money back. People say old Nikon lenses are better, i disagree unless they are old Manual Nikon lenses.
I went for the Sigma 28-105 / F2.8-4 and found it to be better, i paid £150 which is $300, but i am sure you could find it for $250 or less.
