Great for the Money - Capture low light shots UPDATE
8 of 8 found this helpful Yes - it's got a lot of plastic, but for the money, who needs metal! Actually I was a bit concerned at first (thinking you get what you pay for) but I used it, love it and the F/1.8 has saved me on several occasions. Used this lens exclusively this past Christmas and was able to get some awesome light shots as well as great portraits in low light settings. If all your other lenses stop at 4.5...you'll love having this lens in your bag. Take your camera off program mode and have some fun!
9-2007 UPDATE
Had to shoot a track meet on a very overcast - almost rainy day and luckily had this lens in my bag. At 1.8 it allowed me to catch some excellent shots without increasing my ISO above 200. I am always concerned about noise - and try to say at 400 or below on my 'film speed'. For the price - this is a great little lens to have in your bag.

Excellent Toner - Consistent Results without waste
Agree with techman777 - I now always buy Original HP for consistent quality. I've purchased other brands to work in my HP4550 and had a problem or two. One non-HP cartridge was somehow dumping toner into the printer -- my consumables report was showing the toner level dropping at a rate far exceeding normal. This not only meant wasted funds, but if you have ever taken your HP4550 apart and had to empty the overflow /toner waste tray - you know it's not tough to do, but just a royal pain. If you've not done this and want to do yourself, go to the HP site, that is how I found the directions on how to take the unit apart. I also ALWAYS buy our toner on Ebay. Easily save 1/2 to 2/3 the cost!

Own 3 and love them!
I've purchased 3 of these lights over the last several months to use as security lighting along our driveway. The have performed flawlessly. The light is bright and I love that it illuminates not only from the face of the panel but the sides as well. I had looked into having lighting installed - but tried these first. So glad I did!! Only con, so to say, with these is the control is on the back. I wanted mine to come on only when motion is detected and it's perfect! If I want to change that however I'll need to take the light down to do it. If you're looking for an inexpensive way to add light, these solar lights are great. I'm sure I'll be purchasing a few more as time goes along.
