I am a rookie-photographer and did some research before I bought this lens for my wife. She's excited about the hobby of photography and I'm excited to support her. However, I'm not excited to discover that photography can be quite expensive as many can attest.
That being said, for not a lot of money and with my limited understanding, this lens is great for beginners and easy to use in order to get a relatively tight shot on faraway objects, or a good dramatic contrast between foreground and background in a variety of light fields and speeds of subjects.
My wife and I just got back from Europe (France, Germany, Austria) and we took this lens and the 18-55mm lens of the same caliber. On her Craigslist-bought Nikon D40, both lenses captured some really beautiful shots of castles, countrysides, city-streets and confined areas.
Not all shots were professional quality by any means (I'll chalk some of that up to personal ugliness of the subject, user error and unlearned behavior) - but I'd personally choose many of our shots from this lens to be airbrushed and put on postcards...some of the shots are actually better than some postcards I saw in Europe - TAKE THAT postcard-makers!
My wife tells me she hopes to get one in the next year or two that has a lower aperture setting and that is several steps above this lens. I'm already looking into selling my internal organs to pay for it. But for now, for the first step, for the money, and for the experience you can get in shooting pictures, this lens is great.
On a completely related subject, anybody interested in buying a lightly-used, okay-quality, right-half of a brain?
