Here is a handy little lens I picked up about 3 months ago. I was looking for an inexpensive telephoto zoom that I could add to my bag-o-tricks for taking some portraits and some wildlife shots. I am more than impressed with this lens, it’s lightweight and durable and is exactly what I needed for those killer telephoto shots.

This lens in no way is meant to be a professional lens, it doesn’t have the huge aperture of a professional lens and it doesn’t have the optics, however it also doesn’t carry the $1000+ price tag of a professional lens either. This lens is meant for amateurs and enthusiasts seeking to add a solid quality affordable lens to their kit, and this lens does that extremely well. The price comes in at just over a hundred dollars and you will be very pleased you went with this option over the pricier professional versions.
