Nice lens for those who don\'t need the reach of a long telephoto for a walk-around lens. Has its limitations of course but I use it for portraits as well as landscape. Would replace it with the better pro lens when I can afford it!

This is a great walkabout lens for an FX camera. Great for those wanting a budget do it all lens.
