First of all I am very impressed with the image quality of this lens. Very sharp in all areas. It is a DA-L lens which stands for LOWER LENS and is made of PLASTIC. If you want metal at a higher price, get the DA version of this lens (not to mention the plastic lens sucks, I prefer lighter plastic and a great price). Optically, both lenses are the same, so the image quality is the same. Only a quick focus adjustment is missing. A bit noisy for wildlife photography, but it probably won't affect you much. Overall great price!
