Rated 4 out of 5 stars by 7 users at B&H Photo Video

"It takes clear images at low shutter speeds thanks to it's image stabilization. It feels solid and is not very heavy."

"Love the quality of pivture i am able to achieve using this lens."

"Noisy auto focus so if you're shooting wildlife you might want to manually focus, so you don't scare away the critters."
