A bad lens rendered irrelevant by the faster version. |
There's not much to say that hasn't been covered by the other reviews; this is a bad lens. If it were considerably cheaper it would be attractive for really low-budget amateurs. At the $150 price point, the performance shortcomings do not justify the cost.
I bought this lens because bottom dollar was my #1 priority, and this was a mistake. Canon's faster/stronger/more robust sister lens is (at most) $100 more expensive and the results are vastly superior.
One particularly disturbing aspect of this cheap-feeling plastic lens is the fact that the forward tube, when extended at 105mm, wiggles back and forth noticeably - the mechanical tolerances on this device are horrible. I also found that it is very easy to get dust and dirt into this lens (probably also due to the bad tolerances), so don't try to use it in a dirty environment. |

It's not horrible... but close... |
| I have to agree with other reviewers. However to show a couple GOOD points- it's compact, and has a nice quiet zoom. However it's price range is really not worth it. |

If I could give it less than 1 star, I would! |
| Even on a tight budget, these lens are not worth getting. Poor contrast, poor light, and especially has lack of sharpness in photos. At first I thought something was wrong with my technique, but then realized it was the lens. It also takes forever to focus in low light. Go with the other reviewer...spend an extra $50.00 and get the 3.5 version of 28-105 |
