Pros
  • Build quality
  • Versatile
  • Quality of images can't be faulted
Cons
  • Does let in water, which is hard to dry out
I got one not long after it came out and it takes great quality photos (for a zoom lens). Despite being water resistant, mine did eventually let water in, which wouldn't dry out and eventually mould set in. But, it served me well for a number of years. Build quality was good and it survived numerous bangs and drops (including a drop which totally smashed my Nikon D800!)

Pros
  • All Good, This is a fantastic lens especially pair with my Canon 7D Mark ii
Cons
  • A bit weighty, best used with tripod, although not impossible to hand hold
Hi Tord,
An excellent review!
This lens is so good but as you say heavy! To resolve the hand holding problem which I like to do from time to time, especially when capturing birds in flight I purchased the Contemporary Version too. I believe that this lens is every bit as good. Clean sharp images! I think its only pixel peepers that can tell any difference, if there is any!
