Hi Everyone,

I need some advice please. I am after this particular zoom, but I can't find any info except a few photos here:

I images looks very sharp to me and the contrast is very good. But the image size is small so it is difficult to judge for certain

What is your opinion on this lens? Should I buy it?

Thanks,
Simon

Have you clicked on the thumbnail?

Image then opens up bigger and at the top you should see a list of further available image viewing sizes.

Cheers!

I missed that part. A lot of the images suffer from camera shake, but the good ones looks very good and sharp to me at full size!

You can see very nice subjects , virtually with any lenses will be looking good. I don't think so this lens is good enough to take it for money. If you need good zoom buy instead a Tamron SP lens in any focal length. If you need a cheap reasonable fast 200mm lens try to get Orestegor 200mm f4, Jupiter-21m 200mm f4 or a Telear 300mm f3.5 all are going cheaply and lot better lens than this "noname" zoom.
