Cons: Perhaps due to its age, barrel creep is huge. When the camera is pointed downwards it extends to its full length. Apart from that the chromatic aberration, which was barely noticeable in the 35mm film days, is such that even in Lightroom 3 I can not always complete remove it. Definitely worse than my Sigma 2.8 18-50mm.
Pros: Affordable, lightweight, reliable focusing, min. aperture 4.5 , all black and larger than modern day counterparts (does not look too amateurish). Does not look old at all even after 15 years.
Summary: Enjoyed this lens a lot in the film days but the past couple of years it has become clear that I need a replacement, such as the EF 70-200 f2.8 or f4.
