Excellent lens5
This lens is excellent and easy to use. It is fine in good light, and in less favorable light works well with a tripod.
I have seen some reviews that slammed the lens for poor low light handling, but come on, any lens this long is hard to hand hold in low light and slow shutter speeds.
I feel this lens is a great value.

Very satisfied with this lens ... the optics are a perfect match with my Kodak DX7590 digital camera. Yes, the lens does add weight to the camera, but I've never seen a good telephoto that didn't have some weight to it. The thing to remember is that this lens will cause some vignetting if you try to use it at anything less than full optical zoom on your Kodak camera. However the image clarity is amazing and it fits perfectly. The only slight drawback to this is you can't use the built-in flash ... it appears that the lens cuts down on the light too much (there is a lot of lens here). This lens is definitely best used in daylight conditions.

If you're looking at this lens for your Kodak DX7590 (or similar) don't forget that you will need an adapter - this screws onto the adapter the same as a filter would (55mm filter thread). The adapter fits easily into the internal threads around the lens housing of the camera and allow you to attach this lens, the wide angle, or other lenses and filters.
