| Latest Review Posted | Sears Macro 80-200mm F4
This lens is an interesting one, as it has a nice zoom range and is relatively cheap for a solidly constructed lens. The bokeh is beautiful--very soft and creamy. At the same time, the lens is absurdly soft. At nearly all apertures, the lens just gives a soft image. It gets a bit better on the macro level, but it still isn't particularly great. For a similar price, you can get a cheap plastic autofocus lens from Sigma or Tamron that will likely have better optical qualities and autofocus. This Sears lens does have a great feel and if it worked better, then I could recommend it, but the softness is a major drawback.
