    Just a good lens4.0/5

    Just a good lens I love how it feels and the way is constructed, is a good lens, however the lens have some stuff I don't like, the way it changes to macro mode is a bit enoying, you need to go over 180mm then switch the botton, also the switch/ button to AF-MF is to cheap and gets stuck some times, also the AF is not accurate, the lack of image stabilizer make it hard to take good pictures when going over 135mm, I recommend to use it with a good tripod or if taking hand hold pictures use a high speed shuter and dont go over 135mm, also if you are looking to get pictures for indoor or low light photography you will have troble, but over all is a good lens, is not sharp but is not bad either, you can get good nature and close outdoor sports.

    A Replacement4.0/5

    A Replacement Stated simply the one I just purchased is for a replacement for one I've had about 5 years. I don't recommend dropping it on concrete which is why I needed the replacement. While no one likes having to replace something broken because of their own stupidity, I was determined to get it replaced and was pleasantly surprised at the reasonable price. While the 300 telephoto aspect of the lens most likely get used more than the macro feature but I find I use the macro quite frequently with good results.

    Replaced my lens with the same5.0/5

    Replaced my lens with the same Love this lens, it is the same brand as the one I have used for years. The one that I had finally gave out, had to replace it right away.
