    really does a great job with or without artificial light i.e. flash, it truly is automatic focus

    This lens takes excellent photos and video from a distance. The only minor complaint about it is that it doesn't adjust smoothly during video recording. This isn't a major issue. It could just be better.

    This lens came with the bundle. I seems to have a problem with clear focus when I'm taking a picture but I think that's just me because I only have had the camera and lens about a month. However when I'm approximately 30 feet from a subject I have to change to my regular lens, so at some point I will get a lens that combines close, wide angle and telephoto combination in one lens. But over all I like this lens for a starter lens, but would recommend the combination lens over this one, if you have a choice and the money,but as I said this one came with the bundle.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Not sure I would have bought this if had more experience. You need a lot of light to use this indoors. Something with a lower f/ for portraits would be better.
