Bruce, thanks for your comments and the beautiful samples. I just
received this lens and I'm playing with it today. I gotta say it feels
much better on the camera than it does in my hands :-) The focus does
feel nice but it has such a short travel, perhaps 70 degrees. For
comparison, my 50/1.4
I just ordered this lens for the *istD for shooting toy train shows.
It'll be my first zoom lens. My expectations are only that it not be
horrible, and if it's better than that then that's a bonus. I picked
this lens because it covers the same range as the three primes I've
brought to train shows
Hello Amy,
I have it. For the price it is actually quite nice. Not overly
speedy, but a pretty good focal range. On the plus side, it is fairly
small and light and has a good manual focus feel (very important to
me). One small negative is that the reversible hood just bayonets on
to the lens
