    Firstly - I am a semi-advanced amateur who was looking for a lens to mate with my Nikon D5200. I wanted a lens I could travel with on cruises to capture a variety of images whiling traveling about. So far this lens has been just what I planned for and I have been able to capture a variety of images. I can get close ups of people with interesting backgrounds - although admittedly from a farther distance than I am used to - as well as interesting architectural details not possible from my 18-55mm lens. I enjoy using the lens and I recommend it for those of you who fit in my category of photography.

    This new lens is amazing. I purchased it to take wildlife photos on my property in Marcola, OR. There are deer, a huge flock of wild turkeys and a cougar that frequent our property. This amazing lens helps me to get up close photos without getting up close! Special thanks to the Best Buy photo person for being so knowledgeable and help me find just the right lens.

    Great for kids running around and sports shots from afar. Being a novice photographer and learning more now I would have bought a 50 mm lens before buying this one if I had it to do over again. Still a great lens and will be glad I have it down the road when the kids start sports.

    We bought this to go with our Nikon D7200 camera, and was impressed with how easy it was to take up close pictures from a distance. I came in real handy during a wedding we attended. I would highly recommend this lens if your looking nice close ups from a distance.

    I received this lense in a bundle with my D5500. Lense is great for those long distance shots at sporting events or landscape shots. So far I have been impressed with the zoom and resolution at max zoom.
