   I completely agree with the last review I read on this lens. It has left me thinking that I need to see an eye doctor. I mean, can so many of my images be coming out this blurry??? I'm looking for a second and better lens as this one just isn't cutting it.

   I'm trying really really hard to love this lens but I think I can only like it a lot. What's good? - It's a GREAT looking lens. - Comes with a petal hood. - Very solidly built. - Has a very decent zoom range. - Makes a very good walk around lens. - Very decent price. What's not so good? - The images that come from this lens are a bit soft at the high end of the zoom range. - Ok...maybe a lot soft. - Okaaaaaaay...a little blurry. - Okay...maybe JUST blurry but maybe it's the cheap UV filter I put on it, but it didn't really seem to improve much when I took it of, so maybe I shook, or heat and humidity between myself and the target blurred things a little? Maybe? See how much I try to like this lens? Am I happy with it? Yeah, I guess. Would I buy this same lens again? Probably not. The Sigma 70-300 (140 bucks) was MUCH sharper at 200mm than this lens. For 100 bucks more you can get the Sigma 18-200mm which is a great range, but I'd still be leery given my experience with this lens. I'm sorry Sigma, I've TRIED to love you! But we can still be friends.
