positive: | - Nice color - well built - really sharp only @f8 - Bokeh |
negative: | - big and heavy - Slow & hunting AF, specially in low light condition - CA - Flare (OK with hood) |
comment: | We can read that lense is like a tank, indeed, it is big, heavy, slow and noisy, but nice shot !! - This lense is a good one but too hyped, not a legend for me. - Used on a Sony Alpha55. - Do not expected to record video with that lense. The AF is too noisy. |
