[QUOTE="Rick M, post: 79223, member: 4399"] Most "pros", or perhaps people who earn a living in photography use lenses which excel in areas more specific to the types of photography they shoot. This is not a portrait lens, it is not a landscape lens and it is not a fast sports/journalism lens. Don't get me wrong, it can do a lot, but nothing great. Good photographers will get good shots from this lens, but I wouldn't try to earn a living off it. Everyone gets sucked into the mega-zoom allure at some point, but you soon will realize that you may not get the results you want across the entire range. These are great walk around and travel lenses, if that's what you want it for, this may be it. It may help if we knew what you hope to accomplish with this lens. [/QUOTE]
