| comment: | Very pleasantly surprised b this lens. Its by far the sharpest I've ever used in this range. It's not actually that slow at focusing but considering it's a fairly recent lens I am surprised it is not at least a SAM2 lens wit DMF. I haven't really used it for sports or wildlife so can't really comment on its abilities in these areas. Suits my needs just fine. Great value for money it's not stunning but solid optically. |
