Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars by 40 users at B&H Photo Video

"It works great, lots of close ups and lets in plenty of light in ice rink."

"I love this lens! While it is a little heavy (I agree with the others), you get use to that quickly because of the quality."

"Should not be a concern unless you photograph in very harsh conditions or just have a special desire for top notch construction."
