          something I can take with me to places I do not want to risk my more expensive equipment. Great lens for the price and not intimidating like a bigger more expensive lens. Read the reviews on line at Ken rockwell etc

                Very good lense. The only reason for 4 stars - doesn't focus good enough fully zoomed.
