positive:Sharp, price
negative:Slightly warm colour cast
comment:My go to telephoto, great for outdoor sports on a cropped sensor, I also use it for a lot of landscape work. Used well can keep up with the pricier brands for significantly less cash. The slight warm cast can easily be remedied in post, good at f/2.8, sharpens up beautifully at f/3.2. One of my favourites to use, always in my bag.
