Fast, precise and sharp!!
I purchased this lens as soon as it came it and I have been using it for various sports events. I have been shooting varsity high school soccer games 3-4 times a week at different times of the day. This lens continues to shoot amazing shots no matter if it is a noon game, 5 o'clock game or an evening game in down pouring rain it will perform!
