Rated 5 out of 5 stars by 35 users at B&H Photo Video

"The lens is very easy to use and hand holding was much easier than I thought it would be even using TS."

"This is an impresive one. Sharpness is fantastic, it is almosst distortion free, fringing is to a minimun, and glare is well controlled."

"The only flaw is the lack of a good shade or filter to protect this insane piece of glass."
