Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars by 21 users at B&H Photo Video

"Quick and quiet autofocus. Tack sharp at 5.6. Also extremely sharp at 2.8."

"Having the f2.8 throughout the range allows the pictures to be light without noise. It focuses super quick."

"I checked that the lens is heavy (as a negative) and I have to clarify that it is heavy but I (personally) like its weight. If you have only owned standard zoom lenses (like a 70-300mm f4.5-6.3) then you might be surprised by how heavy it is."
