    Good value for the price4.0/5

    Good value for the price The lens is built well and has a solid heavy feel. The image can be sharp if you are able to focus it perfectly. It can be a little tricky to make small focus adjustments. A tripod is necessary to use this lens. For the price this lens is a good value.

    very bad quality pictures3.0/5

    very bad quality pictures Image quality is very bad and you can't use the lens without a tripod. You cant take pictures if there are wind even with a tripod. if you are a beginner or private investigator you can use this lens but I don't recommend this lens for good quality pictures. the only thnk good is the price!!

    Save your money!1.0/5

    Save your money! Lens is not sharp at all even when focus peaking hits, my mount adapter fell apart, the lock ring doesn't really lock it still pulls the zoom out.. for $200 totally not worth it at all!! it should be priced at $50 or less.
