This lens has a nice quality feel to it. Real focus ring. Metal mount. Designed and focused for newer digital cameras. I got it for what I consider to be a great price. I have a used 20d and it compliments the camera nicely and takes very good pictures. I post process a bit to give them more punch in certain circumstances but all in all a very nice lens that focuses fast enough for most amateurs. It's not whisper quiet but I'm not sure I want to spend more money for a "quieter lens." The four stars are about value for the money. This lens has a quality feel and takes great pictures. I don't think you'll be disappointed, especially in this price class. I found another one at a good price for a Pentax (K100D) I have and jumped on it. Recommended.

This is my first time purchasing a lens for my camera. The pictures I have captured are truly spectacular. The details of the subject matter are fantastic. I recommend this lens highly.

The lens is nice and light weight but kind of slow to focus and the focus isn't as sharp as I would've thought. I have trouble with my eyesight so I really rely on on my autofocus. What looks great through the lens doesn't always look so hot in production on my computer. I'm sure there's a bit of a leaning curve and I'll probably get used to it and compensate for it. Can't beat the price.
