first of all, the lens is not the one in the first picture, and it hasnt a golden ring, ( that was a reason why I decided to buy this one as I thought hey it has a golden ring so it is one of the good lenses).

the quality is good, not really a sharp lens, but has a good aperture and wide/zoom capabilities for a great price, so if quality for you is a must, I wouldnt recomend this, but if price is a major factor so yes this one is for you.

I use a Nikon 18-200 zoom lens, and wanted something for closer work, but not too expensive. A friend recommended this lens. The photos I took were excellent, and were a close match to my Nikon lens. I cannot believe that it only sells for less than 80.00. A GREAT bargain!!!!!!

This is a wonderful lens. We use it to take pictures of our martial arts class on a Nikon D80. Overall a great setup for indoor, close up action
