It is difficult to beat this lens in value with its price well below 100 US Dollars.
The build quality is so-so but that seems to not affect the optical performance which is very good for the price.
The lens focuses down to 40 cm, weighs 195 grams, and takes 58mm filters. It is an autofocus zoom and it has 10 optical elements.
