    Strength:

    Strength:

    Auto focus works quickly.
    The additional lens hood (Supplied) makes your lens look very smart, and no doubt helps with any flare risk - small though this would be.
    Not too heavy.
    Very sharp, especially with a tripod
    Reasonable price for a superb lens

    Weakness:

    Gets a few looks when you're walking around toting the long lens with lens hood attached. Difficult to remove lens cover when hood is in place.

    Excellent value for money. Good for pro and advanced amateur. Used for selective scenic shots. Has been good for head and shoulder portraits too.
