Review Summary
2013-02-25T19:00:00
I have not had this for a very long time, however, for the length of time that I have it, it work just fine, for me. I don't know about the auto focusing, because I pretty much focus in manual mode. After I have had it for a longer period of time, and have done a lot more shooting, I'll write another review. So far, so good.
