Well, I knew what I was looking for, and based on the reviews, I was willing to try and get a lens with decent zoom for a low price. After receiving the lens rather quickly I may say, I started playing with the lens and testing it's quality. Yes, the motor is noisy, doesn't bother me though; it's not the best lens by any means, but for the money it does a good job. If you plan on using this lens at it's max zoom (300 mm) you better be outside where you can have a quick shutter speed or have a tripod or something to help you keep it still. If you don't have a lot of light and you zoom out to 300 mm, you will be almost guaranteed to have signs of camera shake in your pictures. With that said, this makes a good outdoor camera if you're wanting to take pictures of your children at their soccer game. The macro feature works pretty good, just remember you'll have to be at least 3 feet or so away from your subject before it will allow you to focus properly. Enjoy, I know I do.

You really can't go wrong with this lens. Its bigger, buts not so big that it weighs down teh camera. The pictures come out beautifully. And, again, the price is crazy cheap.
