Cons: Switching AF/MF sometimes is painfully hard and takes necessity to focus again from 0; AF focus issues in low light with low end Canon DSLR; Flare issues in bright sun; Sometimes for fast action I really miss extra 4 mm at long end...
Pros: Excellent built quality; f2,8!!!! on whole zoom range makes this piece unique; Incredibly sharp even wide open; Reliable work horse for low light action and tight spaces.
Summary: I love this lens. Sharp, fast, well built. Great for low light action and tight urban spaces. Good for landscape work. Used also for shooting HD video with DSLR. Excellent results!

Cons: too sensible to flare. Short zoom range.
Pros: Unique! This 2.8 zoom gives what others don't offer at this price: the very large angle with a good image quality. Build construction is very good and the AF is not a problem on such a lens.
Summary: worth the price!

User profile: Semipro
Cons: quite limited zoom range. zoom ring maybe too small for liking.
Pros: great sharpness and contrast.
Summary: quite expensive for micro motor AF lens. after reminding myself, paying half the price of Canon or Nikon made, it is acceptable. photo qualities are on par but able to take photographs in low lights. not so good performance at f/2.8, i do not see any drawback. the f/2.8 is for us to take photographs in low light, where as one cannot judge sharpness in that situation!
