Optically, this is a GREAT lens—almost a Superachromat, void of any longitudinal color fringing, and bitingly sharp, but not harsh. Build quality is fine as well, focus ring and tripod mount are well damped and silky. Unhappily, OS is quite noisy, and can be damaged (according to the manual) if not turned off before demounting / mounting the lens; a drawback, as this is easily forgotten. In addition, there are clacking sounds when camera is turned on or off with the lens mounted, something that does not sound to trustworthy. If you can live with the soundscape of the lens, than it’s a very good choice nevertheless.
