"I purchased this product to shoot soccer photos and as a replacement for a 70-300mm f4.5-5.6 lens in order to shoot "under the lights". I have not been dissappointed."

"I use the lens for landscape and wildlife photography. Love the fast quiet autofocus and very sharp image quality."

"Yes it is big and heavy, but This is not a vacation lens for me it is one that I use when I am shooting seriously. So far, I have only had it less than 2 weeks, I am very happy with it."
