No bad surprises here

You get exactly what you would expect with this lens. It's fast focusing and has excellent IQ from 2.8 on up. It's easy to hold and shoot with and it's compact size makes it easy to bring along. If you love primes and want 200mm this lens is perfect.

Problems:

No problems.

Since it has been 11 years since I posted this review I thought I would do a follow up.   I have had this lens for 13 years now and it is one of my most used and favourite lenses.  I really have nothing bad to say about it.  If you think you want one then just buy it!
