Notes:
This versatile lens has a lot of great features. You can leave this on your camera almost all the time. The constant f/4 maximum aperture is predictable, the 9-blade diaphragm produces a very pleasing background blur, it has VR, and it's optics are excellent. It's a great choice for events, groups, portraits, walking around, etc. This copy is in excellent condition overall; optics and cosmetics. We'll replace it with a new copy to keep our inventory fresh.
