to very tight tolerances
The rubberized zoom and focus control ring operate very smooth
optical performance of the lens is good
compact
relatively inexpensive telephoto zoom
good sealing and great image stabilization
image stabilization for both photography and video works very well
The performance
by contrast
is quite good

the auto focus slow down a bit
the edges and the corners lag a bit behind
the sharpness drops off a bit
it is not by definition ideal for action sports
The ring is not linked directly to the focal elements
some power drain which is not overly desirable
