    good build quality4.0/5

    good build quality a well built nice lens but be warned a large number of these lenses have been produced that do not focus properly the images can be very soft. if your lucky you may just get a good one that will focus properly and produce sharp images. . pay your money and take a chance.

    Good budget lens4.0/5

    Good budget lens I have only had this lens a short while but for the money its great value. The autofocus is a little noisy and the lens does not like low light. But on a bright day it works well. It also has the added benefit of a macro function which I am still getting to grips with but I can see it will be a very hand feature. One word of warning though is this lens does NOT have image stabilisation built in so you do need a tripod or monopod to get best results

    Good quality lens4.0/5

    Good quality lens I wasn't expecting the lens to be in such good condition. It is as good as new. Good to great results. AF quick and quiet. I'm really impressed and would recommend this lens to anyone wanting a reasonably priced 70 - 300mm zoom.
