Nice upgrade of the kit lens

Like most people, it only took me about 2 days after buying my first DSLR to realize that the kit lens wasn't long enough. This lens went from 18-55 to 18-200 for me. It's more like our old compact Megazoom that we're used to. We took both lenses with us for the first few days and changed them frequently to compare the quality. Many photos were taken twice, once for each lens. We could not determine any differences in quality. If you're happy with the shots you get with your kit lens, you'll be happy with the shots you get with this lens. But as with all telephoto lenses, the more you zoom in, the more likely you are to end up with a less outstanding photo. When you get past 150mm with this lens, you really have to make an effort to stay still to get crisp photos. I borrowed some high quality lenses from friends and there is no doubt that the $2000 lens performs much better. pictures than this thing. This lens is not for professionals. I'm a regular dad with my first DSLR and wanted to zoom in on my kids a little bit. This lens is perfect for me and at a great price.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others
