The AF motor works both fast and silently
Build quality The build quality was quite good
Always Enabled Necessary cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly
OIS is very good

The lens actually gets weaker the closer you get to 200mm
the left side seems a bit weaker
the very poor focus quality on the left of the lens
the corners are mostly unusable at least at the left side
cheap legacy zoom lenses
The maximum aperture is only modest
lack of wider aperture settings restricts the use of selective focusing techniques
There is no movement of the focusing ring in AF mode
the lens extends significantly when zooming towards the long end
inner lens tubes show only a marginal tendency of wobbling
