    Mixed opinions but ultimately not good2
    It's unfortunate that I have to rate this item so low.

    On the positive side, the lens is well built, feels solid, and gave a nice range of wide angles with good colour and contrast.

    On the negative side, of the 2 that I tried, neither auto-focused properly with my Nikon D90. The first lens was just way out. I took a couple of photos around the house and even on the camera's monitor, they looked soft. So I loaded the images onto the computer and it was clear that they weren't focused properly. I took some other pictures using manual focus and the difference was obvious. So this lens went back and I got a replacement (top marks to Amazon for a painless process.)

    The second lens was better. I performed some test shots inside my house, and compared the results with a 24mm prime lens that I have, and although the photos looked a little softer, I put this down to the performance of a zoom over a prime. I then took some photos outside and noticed that between taking shots, with the camera on the tripod, the lens kept re-focusing. Again, I took some more photos using manual focus to compare and again on the computer, it was clear that this lens also had a problem. At that point I sent the lens back for a refund (which takes about a month).

    When the lens is in focus the pictures were pretty good, but with 2 of these lenses exhibiting slightly different faults, it clearly wasn't the lens for me.
