Many appreciate its affordability and how lightweight and compact it is. However, some customers note that the autofocus could be improved, and some have mentioned that it produces some noticeable noise. The lens is generally well-regarded for its performance and value.

    This lens is amazing. The auto focus on the lens is a little loud but easy fix when you switch to MF.
