          I love this camera and lens- This is my first SLR- I have always had Nikon's and loved them for their ease of use, and quality images. I thought my cool pix was the greatest thing and never wanted to change, but now that I have this I will never go back.

          The photos are crisp, clear, and amazing even before I really learned how to use it. I love that it is easy enough for someone like me to use, but produces professional quality photos.

                  Works really well and takes great photos. But there is no vibration reduction so the photos can blur easier than with some other lenses.
