I'd read the reviews of this lens that sai...d it was sharp, but even expecting it to be good I was super impressed. Even with the 1.4x teleconverter the image seems to be razor sharp. Coming from an APS-C DSLR it's obviously not as good bokeh with (f5.6 equivalent wide open, f8 with the teleconverter) but with a bit of distance between subject and background it's capable of beautiful shots, foreground and background. Love it, love it, love it. Oh, and did I mention that it weighs less than half of my 300mm f4 prime lens on my old DSLR but is sharper and faster to focus?

The very first aspect of this lens is the super...b built quality, it feels and looks like a quality bit of gear. Secondly, it’s tack sharp right through the range even at f2.8. Thirdly, autofocus is quick responsive even on my Panasonic GH5. Definitely a serious lens for a serious photographer/videographer. 10/10

This lens is designed for the purist who needs a fast dur...able lens with a constant available aperture of F2.8 for the option of low light scenes without using a flash. The lens zooms smoothly and the AF is good although a little slow in low light. The lens is quite heavy and is best used with a tripod.

Very clear across the zoom range and aperture settings. ... Heavier than the premium or stock lenses but built like a tank, extremely good build quality.
