Summary: I've been using this lens for about 6 weeks now. I have found that it takes good pictures at focal lengths shorter than 200mm as long as there are not any sharp lines...
Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Images Not Sharp At Focal Lengths Larger Than 200mm, Severe Chromatic Aberration
Summary: This lense just feels cheap. It is great if you need a telephoto on a budget, but other than that, if I had to do it again, I would have waited.
Summary: I took some pix of waterfowl at a nearby lake. I got a good picture of a blue heron, but when I tried to blow it up, it was very grainy and fuzzy.

Summary: After having recently bought an A200 and found using the kit lens on it's own extremely limiting, I stumped up the ill-afforded cash for this lens.
