Good for the price

"I bought this lens to try and capture some pictures during sporting events. Unfortunately this lens just didn't cut it for what I was looking for. I ended up getting alot of blurry shots.. it was actually quite disappointing. I'm sure this lens would function adequately for stills, but it's not great for motion.
