"For photographing skydiving (Tandem Jump students) this lens is perfect."

"Light, Solid (metal build), superb IQ, sharp, good color balance, gives dramatic scenes. Nice close focusing."

"Some Chromatic aberration near corners, no weather sealing, no protective filter can be use, should handle with care."
