| comment: | Got this lens quite cheap as it had some minor scratches on the front element. Luckily they dont seem to affect photos at all, at least I havent run into any problems yet. Yes, this lens is built like a tank and for people used to modern plastic lenses -this will seem big and heavy. But it really is a great lens for the price. I use it as a walkaround lens, together with 35-70 f4, decent for occasional telephoto shots and just purely awesome for portraits. Definitely would recommend this to anyone on budget looking for a universal lens with good picture quality |
