has anyone got this lens? what do you think of it., I find for close pics but not that close that Ive got a bit of a gap as I have the lens that came with my camera a canon eos400 d and I have a 70- 300 lens as well .
I was quite fancying the idea of a not too expensive lens somewhere in the middle.
£239.95 from here

Ebay is where i got mine, coming from Hong Kong. I've never had a problem with delivery of stuff from any of the sellers i buy from, time sometimes doesn't go fast enough but that's life and it's a long way to travel lol.
I'm hardly ever in either but i have a great postie who knows exactly what to do/where to find me :)
