JCPenney 80-200mm f/4.0 MC Auto

Great little lens for the money I bought this light after reading alot of reviews on how well it preformed for the price. I have not been disappointed. This is a very sharp lens for the money. It focuses very fast, it does not however, have a focus ring. For some that may be a deal breaker but i don't find it to be a big deal. The few draw backs to this lens is, it does not focus up close. At 55mm the focus distance is around 3 feet. The aperture is tied in tho the focal range. Meaning that zooming in and out will have an effect on the minimum aperture number you will be able to get. This is common in cheaper lenses but for most hobbyist and amateurs you probably won't find this to be to much of a problem. I would have to say that if you were just getting into portrait photography this would be a good little lens to have on hand. It gives you all the major portrait lengths, 85,105,120, and 135. Add a 50mm prime with at least an f2 min aperture and you have a great starting point. Read full review

It's okay Sadly when I got this I was in love with it my first session I used it on it messed up multiple times so I switched lens the second shoot it did the same thing when I went to take photos in a close zoom the lens was jumping and wouldn't let me take photos, sadly it's very frustrating using this lens so I will probably have to purchase a new one I don't have to worry about.

Lens is just what I need. Lightweight and has a very good focal length. Fast focusing and in excellent shape. I'm going to use this lens shortly going to Bristol Motor speedway and the Nascar night race there. A zoom lens is the lens you need for a race. Being able to shoot people close and also the cars as they blast by you at over 150 miles an hour. I'll be able to use the lens even more at Dollywood later in the week. Can't wait to see the pics I'll take.
