Strength:

NONE

Weakness:

Poor machining tolerances, Lens flare, soft, poor colors, AF is tight and could damage the camera. A really poor quality item. You get what you pay for. Give this to somebody with a Nikon and they will think there's something wrong with their camera...

I bought this lens on a lark because it was SO cheap. I used it only briefly.
WHAT A DOG OF A LENS!. Just a nasty junky piece of equipment. On my lens the mount flanges were machined to the far or near side of a tolerance. Whatever, it fits poorly. Image quality is wretched.

My recommendation: Buy a LENS CAP instead. That is something you can use. This thing will probably become my first AF paperweight....
