from www.warehouseexpress Summary: This is my first telephoto lens so i have nothing to compare it with, but I am very impressed, the picture quality is pin sharp. The zoom is a little stiff, which is sometimes annoying, and it has a tendency to hunt in low light but for value for money wise it is a bargin. It feels well made and tough, and looks good to.
The macro function is really good, and usefull for people who are just starting out in that area. I've heard complaints about it being hard to switch off, this is not true!! you have to make sure that the lens is zoomed out to 200 and that the focus ring is twisted anticlockwise fully. The auto focus is a little slow when zoomed in close and a bit on the noisey side, but hey, its only 160 quid!!!
Personaly I would reccomend this lens for anyone who can't afford forking out large sums of money for better quality, usually you get what you pay for, with this lens, you get a bit more. Strengths: Great Value for money.
