+ It has a quality build feel about it - that's very reassuring. It is very responsive, giving you the confidence in framing and capturing the shot.

- I've discovered none so far

+ Image stabilization works well although does use more battery. Image quality is excellent even at maximum zoom. Build quality is good for the price.

- None so far!

Lee, Chelmsford

+ Fantastic lense for a wide variety, i can use it for macro shots 5-6ft away, to create a great blurry background on portraits or simply take a landscape photo bypassing some bad foreground! Would recommend to anyone, especially given the price!

- Slightly noisy but it isn't usm motor so to be expected.
