[QUOTE="MeSess, post: 281468, member: 21237"] I saw that sale and I think you'll enjoy the lens since myself and most people on here who have owned the lens say it performs pretty well for what it is. Before buying it I looked up pictures taken with it and I realized it is capable of really nice shots. Now I see it as an inexpensive zoom that compliments my 18-55mm well and I can learn how to shoot at the longer ranges until I can afford the better stuff. I posted a thread asking whether I should keep both lenses or get the 18-200 and most people said I should keep both. Since your signature says you have the 18-55 and a 50mm prime you'll have a lens for most situations. I still need to invest in the prime but I'm going with the 35mm 1.8g. As for build quality, the lens is really similar to the 18-55 and for a kit lens I have had no problem with that. I don't see either of them coming apart or breaking unless I drop it from a significant distance but then I would be more worried about my camera body. [/QUOTE]
