This is a great lens for the money. I use it as a walk around, wildlife photography lens. I'm just getting started with wildlife photography so I can't justify spending over a grand on a better lens right now. This lens gets me started and I am have been very happy with the images so far.
Sure, you'll get some purple fringing on bright, backlit backgrounds (but not in every photo). The autofocus is slower and noisier than a pro-level lens. It's not supposed to be a $60 version of a name-brand f/4 lens. BUT, it will give you solid performance, great images and a decent zoom range (especially on a crop censor camera) for an itty bitty price.
The size of this lens is just about perfect - not too big, not too small. It feels nice in the hand.
It's a great starter lens for those who need a telephoto zoom, but who are on a tight budget.

This is the second one I purchased. They don't like to be dropped. However, if I drop this one then I would have to buy the same one. It is the best macro zoom lens for the money I spent.

Very nice lens, and economical as well. Excellent macro function, very fast to focus. Lightweight, even when compared to similar lenses.

Good Beginners Lens

I bought this lens for a Canon Rebel. It has proved to be an "ok" lens. It tends to roam, or not focus at all. It's really not good for action shots, but better at portrait shots.

Great lens for the money. To slow for sports but great for stills.If you know a person just starting out it would be a perfect gift.
