sweet deal....to bad i gotta canon

[Campos]

guessin this will work on my d40 =) and i'm a noob to this stuff, but whats the benefit of this lens over the kit lens?

[JustaSloWgn]

a bit more range, maybe a bit sharper pics,compared to the kit lens its built alot better..adds a bit weight to the camera though.

i can truely say i never took the time to explore the true potential of this lens, been tied up with other things since i bought my camera, im sure with a bit of experimenting the results should be even better then what ive done.. especially with a tripod or trigger remote cuz that thing is heavy
