Here is a portion of my conclusion from my final review:
"On a 1-10 scale for overall value I'd give it an 8.5. Optically, an 8, build a 7.5, and features a 6.5 (and that's being a bit generous). So overall a pretty good score considering it's $300.00 price tag because at the end of the day what matters most is how well the images look, and this lens is capable of making some very good looking images for it's price tag.
I do like a good bang for the buck, so an overall 8/10 rating for this lens which is very good considering a 10 would be a perfect performance in every aspect of a lens review. Comparatively the Tamron 70-300mm VC would get a 7.5/10 overall from me- but more on that at a later time perhaps!"
Problems:
No problems, just the usual pro and con list cited in the review.
