" I got a chance to test multiple samples of this lens with multiple samples of Canon's 24-70L, and this lens outperformed the Canon lens, especially in the center"

"No matter where I sit in the high school gyms in the area I am able to take terrific pictures and have outstanding clarity"

"I tested the lens on stationary objects as well as people and none came out with any detail or tack sharp focus."
