Well, basically it is 2 stops at the long end. Like 1/30s vs. 1/125 s diference. It has a substantial body, but I like its IQ and speed a lot. It is known for soaking dust a bit, so I covered it with an UV filter, done.

A UV filter will keep dust off of the front of the lens but not out of the inside of the lens body. Most of the dust gets in around the zoom and focus rings.
