ownership: | I own this lens |
compared to: | - Tamron 70-200 - Minolta 75-300 II |
price paid: | 1820€ (2nd hand) |
positive: | - Sharp - Build quality - AF speed |
negative: | - Heavy (obviously for a 300/2.8) - A bit expensive for a 25yo lens, but totally worth it |
comment: | By far, the most expensive lens I own, and also the best. I use it almost exclusively for soccer and the results are astonishing. The autofocus is fast and accurate on my A550 and the image quality is already high wide open. I can't find anything bad about this lens. |
