If you need a lowlight or a wide angle lens, here it is. not too good for general camera use because of it's low zoom range


quality optic, well built, good price compared to 'marque' lenses sluggish focussing at times

reasonable size and weight, f/2.8, brilliant image quality odd AF compatibility with teleconverters
