    I bought it so I could get clearer photos than I can with my kit zoom lens. Photos are noticeably better, though not as much as I would have liked, and I would have kept the lens for that. But the mount was very tight. It felt like it was grinding when locking it into place. For that reason, I had to return it. I did not want to take the chance it would damage my camera body. For the record, all advertised features performed properly with my D3200.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

  • Great product to add to my camera
