I have this lens and its great. Great value too.
It is however, slow to focus. It can hunt alot in low light as well. =\

The aperature was also stuck shut once (around f22?) (even though camera body reported varying aperature), and all the pictures were too dark. Brought back to the store and they upgraded the firmware. Apparently its a a known issue.

I use it for underwater photography, same pics here...
