For the amount you are going to spend on this lens. It is well worth it. You would have to spend a hell of a lot more to get a better lens then this one. The lens takes very sharp and contrasty photos. Works well in low light. Not 2.8 well. But very good. It can focus as fast as any lens I have ever used. Its small compact and a great walk around lens. The lens replaced my 24-120 vr. And I will never look back. The difference in picture quality is amazing. 18mm may not be wide enough. And 200mm may not be long enough. But for everything in between. This lens is perfect. It is a great compiment to my Sigma 10-20mm and Sigma 50-500mm. GET ONE!!! YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!
