Good lens for your money! I took it on Amazon for $ 200 Holds the counter well, a hood is included. Autofocus is slow, but after flashing the camera and lens it got a little better. If you do not shoot sports and running children, it is quite enough. I recommend to buy, but only at a normal price. Its pros: Sharpness, contrast, color reproduction, weight, price. Different cons: Autofocus is weak, but in comparison with the top Elks. No tracking autofocus when shooting video.
