Rated 4 out of 5

Almost perfect

This lens is a great all around lens. Its sharp, quick and reliable. The only bad thing I can say about it is that since it has no weather sealing its gets internal dust spots no matter what you do. Mine was sent in for cleaning only 3 months after I got it. Once again you have to factor in the SD14/15 1.7x Crop factor making this lens 119mm-340mm. I was a Full Frame shooter then I picked up the SD15 for the Foveon Digital Film look... the crop factor is something to get used to ... 70mm is not 70mm. If you need extra reach its prefect.
