I know that it may not be as flashy as some of the "big boy" lenses, but I thought this was a good start to a longer lens without breaking the bank. ; I cant wait to give a try later today!
Well it's cheaper than the 70-300 VR, but it comes from a good pedigree. ; The 70-300 and 55-200 VR lenses come highly regarded.
I took it out to play some today. ; We went pumkin picking. ; Not the best for using the long end of the lens but I still had fun playing. ; Here is a barn at 55mm.
