price paid: | 60 GBP |

negative: | nothing really |
comment: | A really fantastic walkabout lens. Unless you do serious wildlife work, all you need is this and a kit lens. Good for macro too, nice bokeh at 200mm. Can be used for wildlife, as you can blow up shots later. Sharp thoughout the range and wide open. 6 year warranty only applies to USA. Wont last forever, but so cheap you can replace it. Get a rubber lenshood, better than the original. |
