Sharp, excelent range, quick and fast AF
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Excellent sharpness in the range 200 to 500mm. Drops to very good at 600 when stepped down to f8 or f11. Very good focus speed in good light but tends to miss sometimes in poor light conditions. Same thing with close focussing. Although slow to start, VC is very effective, allowing shots at 600mm to be taken at 1/160s. Contrary to many reports, I've had no problems with panning in AI servo with VC on and shutter speeds never below 1/360s. As with all equipment, this lens has its own learning curve and requires a lot of practice to get to know its nuances but I believe that when used properly, the results it produces can be stunning. It is arguably the best superzoom at present.
