Awesome Lens for All Seasons...

By Terry

from Salem, MI on 4/21/2008

Pros:

Sharp Focus, Strong Construction

Cons:

Slow Focus

Best Uses:

General Use, Wildlife

Describe Yourself:

Hobbyist/Enthusiast

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

...especially during the spring and summer when the bugs, flowers, trees and other things are in full swing. I took this out to shoot some insects and the like the day I got it. If you aren't familiar with the focus limiter and try to use auto-focus without it, you'll find the lens hunts and is sometimes not so accurate at acquiring the subject. That being said, this lens produces VERY sharp images, and its focusing distance is incredible. In a nutshell, great lens.

Tack sharp, but a little slow

By Alli

from Littleton, NH on 5/8/2007

Describe Yourself:

Hobbyist/Enthusiast, Professional

Pros:

Durable, Easily Interchangeable, Easy To Clean, Sharp Focus

Best Uses:

Professional Work

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

It is tack sharp which is what I was looking for. It can be very slow to focus, even on the limited setting, and it seems to get confused once in awhile. The motor is loud, too, but I did know that about this lens when I bought it. Overall, I am happy with it and would reccommend it as a great portrait and macro lens.
