comment: | I got this one back in 2006. For the price it's really a decent lens. Good center sharpness. However I really like the fact that it's really light weight compared to pricey lenses- of course it doesn't feel that good in your hands. I do like it better on my film lenses as sharpness isn't such a huge deal as in digital ;) |
