Customer Review: Demostraci?n del Producto
Summary: 4 Stars

Lo ideal ser?a poder revisar un video el cual muestre como funciona el producto, es decir a traves de un video revisar cuanto zoom se obtiene con el lente.

Customer Review: Not sharp :s
Summary: 2 Stars


Well, I got this lens because I wanted a zoom for my photowalks to the zoo and such.

I got this one because I cant really afford the 70-300 and decided to settle for this
one, Big mistake! The pictures are not sharp AT ALL, as soon as you get to 135mm everything
starts to blur.

I really say that if you can afford the 70-300 better go for that one, because this lens does
not provide pin sharp images or anything close to it for that matter.

Customer Review: Great Beginner Zoom Lens
Summary: 5 Stars

Overall, I'm quite happy with this lens. I just bought my first DSLR about 2 months ago (the D3000) and bought this about one month ago. Since I've only had it for a short time, I can't speak for its longevity, but from what I found in my research it looks like these will last a long time if you're careful with them. The all plastic construction was one concern I had before buying it, but after holding one and getting to use it, it does feel solid and built well for a $200 zoom lens.

The VR definitely comes in handy with this, too. The zoom power actually took me by surprise. Obviously I'm new to SLR photography, but it was a pleasant surprise to see just how close you can get to your subject with this lens. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Customer Review: Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars

Works good, got it refurbished for $180 but it would have been nice if it went to 250 or 300mm zoom rather than just 200 but it works great for the price. I am still able to get good pictures in amateur soccer games.

Customer Review: Light and Sharp!
Summary: 5 Stars

What a wonderful lens!
I bought this on a whim. I had the 18-200 VR, but I knew if it's shortcomings resolution-wise.
I read a lot of great reviews for this lens and figured for $200, why not?

I was blown away at how sharp this sucker is! It is incredibly light and small as well.
Obviously for night use, it will need a super steady hand or a tripod, as it is not 2.8... but during the day and dusk it is exceptional. The VR REALLY helps a lot.
Alsom the 200mm is more real than the 18-200's 200mm, if that makes sense. I did a side-by-side test and this lens went a tad further. Weird, huh?

For outdoor sports, landscapes, etc. this lens is a MUST BUY for telephoto work.

Did i mention that it is really sharp, even wide open.
