  • Summary: I like the size and price of this lens, compared to similar optics from other manufacturers. The build quality is good, although I'd like it to be a bit beefier.

  • Excerpt: Really nice and clear photographs, it does focus somewhat slow but not too bad. The range is great, personally would prefer something like a 200 but that is just me.
