Rated 5 out of 5 stars by 8 users at B&H Photo Video

"Inexpensive zoom that is small fast and sharp."

"One of the best 55-200's for the price. Lightweight, compact, 1/2 the price of the sony comp. lens, with just as good quality."

"The build quality is "OK" for a lightweight plastic design, but the optics are so awesome, it really deserves a nicer build."
