Pros: Nice vibrant colors, cheap (paid $65), cheap wide angle. Well kept secret, like Canon 50mm 1.8 II...

2.0 out of 5 stars Made by Hoya?, January 8, 2005

(HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)   

This review is from: CL) U)QUAN 19-35MM F3.5-4 F/NIKON (Electronics)

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.
