Cons: no image stablization. hood not built-in

Pros: superb image quality even at max. aperture and when using teleconverter. 320mm f2.8 when used on non-full frame cameras. Affordable for amatures.

Summary: Fantastic bargain. Prime lens with same or better image quality than much more expensive zoom lenses.
