Yeh, I find it ok, bought it new 3 months ago and only used it 3/4 times. It's not a bad lens. I bought it for birds in the back garden but I was offered a 70-300 at a price I couldnt refuse so I use that mostly now. I also have digiscoping gear so that gets used lots too. Go for it, have a look at Amazon where I got mine from, looks like they are doing them for around £70. Good for the price until you can save up to buy better. (and you will!!)
I have a photographic memory that was never developed
