I just wanted to review this lens, since I tried it and wasnt very happy with it. I just wanted to warn you really.
It is a nice lens, for the first look. It has an ok focal range and a very good macro, however when you start using it, you find that it isnt as good as it looks. First of all the auto focus can be VERY slow at times. Also at the higher end of the focal length (about 280-300) the pictures are not as sharp as you would like them to be.
Advantages:
- A really great macro for such a lens. You can get pics that you couldnt with other such lenses.
- Good focal range covering 70-300
- A GREAT price for what you get (about £120 new)
Disadvantages:
- Pictures can be a little soft, and not as sharp as other lenses
- The AF is really really slow and quite noisy.
- The ergonomics arent as good as the canons lower range lenses. I just did not find this lens fit into my hands as well
Thanks for reading
