I have the Nikon D3100 purchased about 2 years ago in the kit with this objective, to have a good camera for my year abroad in Australia. I must say that until then I had no experience in photography.
With the camera lens + one is, but in my opinion, best served as a beginner!
I have taken within one year of the 15,000 images and was stehts satisfied.
Sure you can objects in the immensity of this lens not herranholen excessively close and already garnciht without loss of quality, but that should not be expected as an amateur and in this objective too.
Comments regarding cheaper processing I can not understand.
I have overused the lens on the extent and also the lens has been through every Outdoorstrapaze.
Ultimately, I have unfortunately done yet. However, by a violent overthrow. My cheap tripod has given way in the soft sand, so that the camera or lens came into contact only on a rock, then in the wet sand and finally with brine. Apart from external damage the lens even has a month traveling without problems participated until finally on the last day of my trip, as appropriate, has exposed the autofocus.
something in the objective has probably moved so it hooks.
On good days, the autofocus works still no problem, at others he wants nurnoch manually.
This can, however, lay neither the manufacturer nor the product to load.
So a fall must and can not withstand a lens of this and possibly also one of a higher price range.
Conclusion: I'm an amateur still so happy with the product that I decide again for this!
The fifth star is missing from the reason that I know of course that one has eventually tested the limits of this objective and expected a little more. For any beginner, however, it is perfectly adequate!
