Glad I bought this lens. Suitable finish (although a little short of my goal 18-135) at a very affordable price. Would recommend for those who want to enjoy a nice depth of field (aperture to 1.8) even in low light. Only downside: mounted on an APS sensor, it provides a focal length of 80mm +/- and therefore tele-goal from wide angle, which is a shame to immortalize the family celebrations (it takes about 6 to 7m decline for a group photo). Not disappointed blur effects that can be achieved.
