Value for Money
Currently, this lens is available for around £350, but the price has continued to drop steadily from launch. As the original version equipped with a standard focusing motor is currently available for over £100 less, it makes the new lens look quite expensive.The closest equivalent from third party manufacturers is Sigma's 18-125mm DC OS HSM lens, which is equipped with optical stabilisation and a silent focusing motor for around £230.
