Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars by 15 users at B&H Photo Video

"Auto focus is fast, and the lens is very light. Construction is also very good--good design."

"Overall, a GREAT value on a versatile lens. Definitely worth getting."

"You really can't use the f2.8 for soft focus, as it is overly soft at setting 2. And if you go higher than f4 it tends to lose its soft effect."
