    "good for travel...Great compact lens (especially compare with my pro lens). Sharp enough for the price. ...Great lens for the price...as said, we use this lens for vacation pictures and family shots. it definitely gives us more range with our NEX-5R. while you could find more expensive long shot lenses, perhaps with finer picture, you will not regret the ease of use and good pics you get with this lens. as with all optics, they are somewhat fragile, this one withstood a drop from my daughter so it's pretty tough just treat it with respect and it'll be fine."
