Query: Pleased with ease of use (extreme SLR novice).

I purchased this lens just cause and I must admit the pictures I've taken with it so far have not disappointed me. I prefer to use the lens in Manual Focus...it seems like the little motor is working so hard and I'm not ready to make the jump to the next model so to give it a break and me more experience in learning, this is fine. My only real complaint with this lense, is the material its made from. With all lenses you should be careful, but this one because of its delicateness you have to show a little more caution. Overall I am pleased with my purchase, I would recommend this product and defintely purchase from this retailer again.
