@dutchothotmailcom@danette@rickster549 Thanks for enquiring, I did not keep the lens as I did not like it. The zoom was much too stiff for me and the shots were not great neither. I got a Canon 15-85 mm and a 70-300. I am much happier with these. I have a good zoom on my Lumix, so just take that when I need it. (can't afford a big zoom atm) :-)
