cheap
prime lens quality
fast and accurate AF
good construction

unstable tripod
plastic hood

I only recommend it to those who are looking for a second-hand 80-200/2.8. There is no doubts about it.
But if I have enough $$$ to buy a new one, I would probably go for the Nikon AF80-200/2.8 ED.

Lens focuses reasonably Fast and accurate. Sharp and fast glass. nicely balances with a monopod and N70.

Tripod mount is a little bit flimsy but am able to live with it.

This lens has the threaded metal hood which is nice due to being metal, sometimes alittle time consuming to attach. Other than that this lens can't be beat for the cost of it. I am very happy with it and could recommend it to anyone that is looking at one. Nice build quality also.

Economic choice compared with other popular brands. Good optics and solid structure.

screw-in lens hood is less convenient & slower AF speed

It only cost almost half of price of most famous brands 70-200/2.8 lens, and give good optics in sharpness and flare control. But its colour reproduction is a bit "cool". The AF speed is significantly slower than USM and AFS (I use it on Z-1p body).

it's a very fast lens.

none whatsoever

This is a great lens, even without considering its low price-tag. It's solidly build, the Internal-Focusing & the tripod-collar are very useful. Optics is amazing, very sharp !!
