For a 1.6x crop, you might as well get the 18-55 IS. For a full frame or 1.3x, it could be an OK lens for a wide angle if you stopped it down. Taylor

Im planning to use it on my reliable 1D classic which is a 1.3x and my trusty 20D which is a 1.6x repsectively.I'll test the lens tomorrow on my 1D and hoping to get some good results. 1D II

Oct 23, 2009 11:39 | #9 This lens is generally recognized as a Cosina, and is also sold as a Phoenix, Promaster and Vivitar.
The price, secondhand, was around US $100. Put the lens on the XTi, used it, and it worked just fine. It can take extra effort to find 77mm filters for the lens. This lens has no bragging rights, but its price keeps several hundred dollars in your pocket.

Don't see much purpose if used exclusively on a 1.6x crop camera but if you have both then why not try it out at least. Sony A6000, 16-50PZ, 55-210, 35mm 1.8 OSS
