A great lens for the money. I am shooting pictures of 2 sons competitive soccer games for their respective teams. Posting pictures on line for the teams. We are getting great reviews by all who see them. Great clarity on distant shots.

We were going on vacation to Florida and needed a new lens. Went to the only source we feel confidant in online shopping compared prices and made this purchase at an awesome price. We rec. it in a couple days as promised just in time for our trip. The product was new in original box and undamaged. Flawless. It was a great lense. Highly recommend it if you are not ready to make those HUGE investments on the other lenses. The only thing we had any trouble with is the lense fogging really bad going from inside to outside in the heat and humidity. I new it was not a weather sealed lense, so no surprise. I did miss a few good shots of some beautiful Dolphins but this was my fault for not putting the lense in a place to acclimate it to the weather conditions long enough before using it. Overall I give it a great review.
 You'll need a tripod for sure... August 18, 2008

I am a novice and beginning to enjoy picture taking. This lens is a capable lens. It can capture some great images but in low light it requires a tripod since my hands are kind of shaky. For the money is is a great tool to have in your bag. If I were to do it over again I would have saved my money and gotten a lens that had image stabilization and maybe a faster aperture. Also this lens does allow me to capture images from a further distance. That way I don't have to get right into my 8ft boa's face to get some good close ups.

For a very reasonable price you get pretty good quality. not bad for a novice like me.I suppose if I was a pro this would not be good enough but the lens is as good as this user is and I have enjoyed the pictures I have taken with it.

I was between this lens and the IS (image stabilization) model. For the price I tried this model, as I have gone this far, about 40 years, with out IS. I am very pleased with the overall quality. In full sun I have hand held it at about 250mm, with great results. Otherwise I'll use a tripod. No big deal. I use the lens on a Rebel XTi and find the balance to be very pleasing. Shooting wild life in lower light conditions, it would be nice to have another f stop, but now you are talking a lot more money.
