User profile: Semipro
Cons: shade is effective but vulnarable
Pros: sharp, best contrast up to 250, very good at 300and 400. At f8 comparable with 4/300 APO Minolta, much less CA. Beautiful with 1.4x at 400, little more black and sharpening in Lightroom. Alpha 900 used. Mounted on D7 enourmous range for birding. Versatile lens with very high performance, solidly built.
Summary: Toplens wich I use for racing events, nature and reports on popfestivals. in a separate fit bag you can always take it with you.
