reviewswhat are people saying

"Takes great pictures during daylight, acceptable during evening or low light. Has a very nice feel and includes a lens hood to prevent flaring."

"Overall, it is a nice lense for getting started in photography. It offers a nice range of zoom and also has a macro feature."

"I learned a lot from this lens but quickly out-grew it. It's focus becomes fuzzy when stopped down low and at extreme close-up."
