Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars by 19 users at B&H Photo Video

"Its a very nice lens for the money."

"This is the perfect lens for me. It's light enough so that I can hand-hold it easily when in the macro mode."

"Didn't know that it has two settings for auto/manual focus. Took me a bit to find out why it wouldn't work until I discovered the switch on the side of the lens."
