positive:Solid as a rock. Stunning sharpness and fantastic colours. Great handling in all terms. I love the ring as an AF/MF-switch, this is a brilliant solution. Very good focus in light conditions.
negative:AF is hunting, when it gets dark.
comment:I finally wanted a light tele made especially for FF E-mount, preferred this against the Batis 85 and am very happy with it, though the Batis is somewhat faster. It makes great pictures, sharpness, colour, distortion, all great. I love that lens more than any other I ever had.
