Compared to my 18-55mm kit zoom lens, the photographs from this are so much clearer. Sure it's a cheap lens - I mean it's cheaply built - but at less than £70 it would be wrong to expect anything more. I get the feeling that the money has gone towards the optics rather than the construction. I've no problems with the autofocus. It's speedy enough and the images are pretty sharp. This lens might not last me forever, but I'm sure I'll get more than my money worth out of it!! Any way you look at it, this is one cracking lens for the money.
