If you are just beginning to understand the world of digital SLR cameras and you buy this device as part of a bundle with a camera, for example at a low price (I came with the D90), then bring it to work with you. After shooting with it for almost a year and a half, the sole reason I decided to part ways with the lens was because I felt like I had outgrown it. You can take pictures "from the hip" with just one hand, and you can play with the zoom without having to change your position by moving your feet. Its ready-to-shoot nature and light weight make it an attractive option for use as a lens that is permanently attached to a camera or other photographic accessory. A low defect percentage, sharpness, and even an excessive amount in some places for things that do not wish to notice creases in themselves. But the time has come, and I wanted a picture, not just a photo fact that my friends would appreciate. I wanted to shoot indoors without using a flash, get voluminous portraits with a blurry background, and take photos with colors that are closer to their natural state. The 18-105mm lens has a sin to brighten things up, and I wanted to show myself. On the other hand, the older classes already have alternative sources of income. As a reliable workhorse, he earns a score of five stars from me.
