Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars by 7 users at B&H Photo Video

"it is useful for taking portraits with a bigger DOF. Makes good quality photos in 70-200 mm."

"The lens is great for far objects and scenery. I personally got this lens for Hawaii, a trip that I am going to for spring break."

"It doesn't have VR, and at 300mm you need to use a tripod."
