Hello all....with the current wave of people selling the above lens, I'd like to hear honest opinion of what you guys have on the above lens. The good and the bad. And why are they being sold off. Thank you.
iz_k said:For that kinda price, it's a really good lens. What I like is the range it has, preferable for a 1.5x DSLR.
I'm selling mine cos in need of cash.
Sad to say, but have to bro.. Hope to start all over again after that.

swhyge said:Why is there a need for you to elaborate with that 1.5X here???
I remember year ago when turbo pascal was famous, everything software has turbo there... Then dot com.... then irrelevance...
Gymrat76 said:Honestly speaking, I feel its a good lens to have because of the range it offers. Sure, it may not be a 'fast' lens, but you have to ask yourself, how often do you shoot at f/2.8 anyways? A faster lens does have its advantages, i.e. in bad lighting etc, but I mostly use this lens for landscapes and scenery shots etc, which mostly requires apertures larger than f/5.6-f8, so its not a problem.
The price is great is you consider that you're getting an AF-S, ED lens with nice range
