My First Lens

With the exception of the kit lens that came with my camera, I am now getting my first lens! I've been wanting something that could get some closer up shots of stuff with a lower aperture. With the help of my friend Sam, we found this:

I've read some of the reviews, and what I picked up from them is it feels cheap, but performs well for a beginner. It's not going to produce the quality of the more expensive lenses with similar specs, but for $80ish, I'm not expecting it.

It should arrive on Monday. I'm excited!
