Is it because I do not like slow telephoto zoom lenses?

How many stars were lost in translation?

English is not his first language. And when trying to get across all the points (of any conversion) in another language, much can be lost in translation. His comments here "may" appear as cold and terse towards this lens, but I'm betting that much was lost in translation (up to a point).

All I can say is that as an English speaking person, if I tried to converse in another language - especially trying to write as such, I'd probably screw up quite a bit of conversations.

So maybe in the translation we lost a star or two from his actual rating of the lens?  This is not a 2 star lens no matter what language you are native in.  I think the community overall rating is much more accurate.  The OP simply has a bias against slow lenses.
