only had lens a short time. it has takes night pics without flash. from Amazon.com I bought this with amazon.com for nikon. Before I bought it, I reviewed the great pictures on this site. from Amazon.com Pros: I took it out to photograph birds and it did wonderful. The lens has the distance's as well as the focusing numbers written out to take the guessing game out. from Amazon.com I purchased this a few months ago and have been playing around with it in a variety of environments. It's fairly lightweight, the pictures come out well, and the macro mode does let you get closer to what a true macro lens would give you (obviously not quite as good). from Amazon.com I have been using this lens for about a year now. I have no real complaints. from Amazon.com There are a lot of differing views on this lens. Thats great. from Amazon.com CONS- If you've read more than 2 reviews you know this lens does not do well in low light, the macro is not true macro and you will need a tripod to really get the most out of this lens. A lot of users also say that the macro switch sticks, which I found to be true, unless I zoom down to 200mm and the switch will work perfectly. from Amazon.com This is my first zoom lense and I am very impressed with the photo quality with my canon slr. I use it for taking photos of homes for sale around the lake and family sports. from Amazon.com I am quite new to photography--at least "serious" photography, but as much as I tend to go overboard with new hobbies, I knew that I had to put certain restrictions on myself when buying gear. There was no way I was going to spend 1500 dollars on a Carl Zeiss lens in the vague expectation that I would find it useful. So, along with the 18-55mm zoom that came with my a230, I bought a 50mm 1.4 prime, and then, after a bit of internal debate, decided I really needed a good telephoto zoom to get me some reasonable range on photographic outings. from Amazon.com i use this lens in the 70-200 range for portraiture or general telephoto photography, in the 200-300 range for near macro photography, and at 300 with a 50mm lens reversed onto it for extreme (6x's lifesize) macro shots. in all instances i've been generally pleased with the quality. from Amazon.com
