Recommended
Yes
Price
1800$
Pros
  • Very sharp pics,light,easy to use,simple design,no IS
Cons
  • none,as long as you know this is a 'daylight lens'
Brillant,sharp,sharp,sharp. this lens is a pleasure to use,

outstanding value,a wonderfull product.

Most will understand what F 5.6,so do'nt expect to use thos early in morning,

or on dusk.this lens is reputed to be the best BIF in the world.

I have taken some stunning pics with this lens,at higher speeds,this lens is

just devine o:D,very little PPP needed.

Enjoy!

For 120-400mm F4.5-5.6 APO DG OS in SLR & MFT (micro four thirds) Lenses
Recommended
No
Price
1100$
Pros
  • none!
Cons
  • too many to list,would'nt focus,noisy OS,pictures very poor
i bought this lens for birding,and i my oppinion its a absolute

failure,i would'nt recommend this lens to anyone,its extremerly

poor quality OS,took ages to settle and when it did still jumped

wildly,the quality of photos it took were extremerly low quality,

Do your self a favour,save your money and get a Canon L,or

other camera brand quality lens,i did-and no problems whats so ever.

I hope this may help someone avoid the same mistake i made
