| ownership: | I own this lens |
| compared to: | Tamron 70-200 f/2.8. |
| price paid: | 250 USD + Trade-in |
| positive: | Very sharp. Quick AF. Compact enough to carry around all day. Built-in lens hood that 'locks' when extended. Focus hold button. |
| negative: | Not SSM. Hood does not 'lock' in closed position. Manual focus is tricky, very sensitive. |
| comment: | I had the Tamron 70-200, but I was never happy with it. So I was able to trade it (+some cash) for this Mino 200. I'm glad I did. This lens is in a whole different league. Solid, all-metal build, so sharp! Very light and small for its focal length. Quick focus, but it is barely audible. |
