Must have lens for a beginner like me :)

Good bang for the buck
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a photographer and cinematographer I tried this lens for a good budget lens in a hurry. Needless to say the performance of this lens exceeded my expectations for the price, however the autofocus motor is a little loud for video work.
