 Pretty good lens July 30, 2008
Cons: Its not fancy looking, shots are not consistently good, lots of bad reviews
Pros: Nice vibrant colors, cheap (paid $65), cheap wide angle. Well kept secret, like Canon 50mm 1.8 II...

Given that most Quantaray (Ritz Camera's store brand) lenses are made by Sigma, I was surprised to read that this 19-35mm is made by Hoya. I went down to my local Ritz store and asked them about it. As usual, the clerks there couldn't answer my question.
If this is indeed a Hoya lens, then it's probably best to stay away from it. Hoya is known for making dirt-cheap, low-quality stuff. This is not to say this lens is total trash, and if you have a cheap Nikon SLR and just want a relatively inexpensive wideangle lens, this may still work for you -- although $200 is a lot of money in my book. I'm staying away from this one. I can get a Tamron for just a little more but its quality is many times superior.
