Rated 5 out of 5 stars by 68 users at B&H Photo Video

"Great lens for taking pictures of the kids, fast, smooth zoom and I don't have to be in their face to get a shot, very sharp pictures..."

"The build quality seems top notch, no play in the focus or zoom rings at all, and very smooth action of both."

"Heavy and bulky; can't imagine travelling with this. Autofocus tends to hunt around a bit."
