"The images it creates are very sharp, even wide open, and the colors and contrast are great. It's not a huge lens and doesn't stick out on the street like a white 70-200 or anything of that nature."

"This has to be one of the sharpest lens out there. Just about every picture jumps at you. Great contrast and color. Mostly used hand held with great results. Very fast focus even when using extenders."
