At typical kid's soccer distances, you can almost fill the frame with your kiddo.
Now at this price, you don't get an all-metal body and weather o-rings. This is plastic and will get ruined in the rain. But to start out taking photos at a distance, I love it.
Look for a slightly used one; they pop up from time to time. Consumer electronics tank in value so they're pretty affordable if used is an option. If not, they're still a great deal used.
I recommend even though it has IS, a tripod because lets face it, who doesn't find themselves wanting a tripod with a telephoto lens. Unless your hands belong to RoboCOP, you soon find that without zooming out at a low shutter around say 1/5-1/30 that IS doesn't quite cut it, especially if your aiming for the highest quality image possible. And RAW processing does not fix out of focus/blurry images.
Of course if your budget for lenses is past 400-700, you better just spend your money on better lenses, because with that much money your expectations are too high for a low cost lens or your a professional. Best of luck in your photography pursuits!
This is not an inner focus lens, or weather sealed, or has metal construction. I knew that. but for $120, it has a long zoom range, image stabilization, and better bokeh than most camcorders.
My purpose for this lens is build a portfolio and serve as a workhorse for my first few paid gigs. The return on the investment will be quick, with that investing on better glass will be sooner rather than later. Just put a hood/matte box over it and the clients wont even notice... as if they even care, your final product should should build your credibility, not your gear.
I have to admit I'm just an amateur photographer. I like that the footprint of this lens is not much longer than the standard 18-55mm lens that came with my camera. I am sacrificing a little more of the zoom in capability, but I found that I don't seem to have a very steady hand on the long distance shots. This lens has image stabilization, so the shots came in great, both indoor ambient lighting as well as outdoor architectural shots.
Overall, I'm very pleased with this purchase, and it seems to be a good balance between overall quality of the lens, construction, clarity, and quick focus functioning even at far-away objects (50+ feet).

早速使用しましたが動作に全く問題ありませんでした。使いこなすのに時間はかかりそうですが、大切に使わせて頂きます。
Non è silenziosissimo, ok.
Non è velocissimo nella messa a fuoco, ok.
Ma è fuori da ogni dubbio che vale ogni centesimo di quello che costa.
Ho fatto delle bellissime foto con questo obiettivo e penso che sia un must per una persona che s'avvicina alla fotografia e vuole sperimentare un tele senza spendere una fortuna.
Consigliato.
