This lens is a good lens for e.g.: traveling with a secondary "beater" body; when one wants to leave the nicer gear in safety.
That said, in such a capacity often an older generation used lens can be had for much cheaper and is fairly disposable by comparison.
One can go with the older Nikon 28-85 AF lens, which is much cheaper at around 70 bucks used and is optically very similar; though perhaps slightly less reliable as an option. However, one can buy a second one as a backup for a total of two at around 140USD and still be hundreds of dollars richer than one would have been after buying this newer kit lens..
