This seem cheap, or have I missed something?

Anyone have one of these, any good?

Reviews say it's good for the price. Basic lens but damn cheap!

Damn I though you meant the proper Nikon 200mm VR :lol:

Has some pretty good reviews, looks like a bargain!
Obviously max aperture isn't great, so bear that in mind if you're looking to shoot at low light levels, or fast moving subjects, but you'd have to expect that for the bargain price

I have the Canon 55-250 lens. I also had the L lens which was £500 and tbh, I can't tell any difference when shooting video. For piccies of course the L lens is a bit sharper but not by much. Any zoom lens you really need image stabilisation which really pushes the price up on the L series. The cheap 55-250 works fine for me needs and it does have IS.

Cheers all, I might as well go to Jessops and have a play.

The 300mm seems cheap too, not sure how 'soft' the pictures will look after 200mm though
