This lens produces awesome results even for beginners. The image stabailzation is a big part of taking successful pictures. It's easy to use, especially in your camera's auto mode.

easy to use - has image stabilization

Outstanding service! Ordered the lens kit and received it the following day. Great zoom lens. I love the wide focal range of the zoom allowing me to carry this lens instead of two additional lenses. Major upgrade from the 18-55mm lens kit that came with my camera.

This is a great lens to replace BOTH a regular 18-55mm and a zoom 75-300mm... If you want to carry just one on your trips, no doubt, its the way to go. Take terrific shots!!

I love this lens with my new T6s but unfortunately because of credit restrictions on HSN I need to return it. If a person goes over limit they are held responsible for the overage amount plus what the minimum payment is, If I could keep it I would!

We have three lenes for our D50, and this is by far the most useful. We have now stored both of the other and use this lens all the time. Works both indoor and outdoor for wide angle and zoom photos.

Consistent Output; Easily Interchangeable; Strong Construction

Bought this to replace a 75-300 lens that came in the kit. Old lens does not have image stabilization. New lens does and works excellently for my needs. I would recommend to any casual photographer.

I bought this as a replacement for one of the same model. It is a very versatile lens and I use it frequently, I have used it for over three hundred photographs in the last month. My original one is probably repairable but I needed a replacement urgently.

The focal range of this lenses is perfect for the types of photos that I take from sports to wild life. It is very fast to focus and easy to adjust the zoom on the lense.I feel for the money it is one of my better lense purchases.

This is a handy general usage lens. I basically use it for my kid's sports events where i am sitting far away but I don't want to bring 2 lenses. So I bring this one. I'm no pro, but i do notice a slight image quality difference between this and my f2.8 17-55mm lens, but it's still pretty good.

Great lens, awesome Wide Angle & Zoom! Perfect all round lens. Smifu is definitely the cheapest place by far as I did tons of research before I brought it. It also got delivered in 48hours!
