Price Paid:  $155.00 from 17th Street Photo

Summary:

I use this lens as an add on lens to my Olympus E 20 SLR digital camera. I am very pleased with this lens accessory. I use it constantly in the field. It takes 86 mm filters, and I have used numerous filters on the lens to good effect. You do have to remember to keep the lens on the camera fully zoomed to avoid any vingetting problems. Very fast lens. Scratch resistant. This lens has taken some pretty rugged use from me. All in all, this is a great accessory lens.

Strengths:

Durability and great glass

Weaknesses:

A bit heavy. Care must be used in screwing on the lens. Add a little candle wax to the threads to keep them smooth.
