Cons: Manual focusing can be difficult. I have trouble getting it just right. Hand holding almost impossible. I now only use it on a tripod.
Pros: Great magnification on DX sensor, resulting in a 750MM lens. Reasonable weight.
Summary: Good for the price. Optical quality is decent, not great. A tripod must be used for sharp photos. I'd like it much more if it was autofocusing.
