    This lens was a Christmas gift to my daughter who has used it for school projects and developing her art portfolio, but also for recreational use. We have had some of those photos mounted and they are now hanging in our living room.

    A great lens investment that really has become my only lens on vacations and any other time I know I'll be shooting both near and far. Eliminates the need to carry multiple lenses.
