"It makes a very pleasing to the ear clicking sound when twisted into the camera mount and the zoomer zooms with the smooth elegance of a finely crafted zoomer."

"Very impressed with this lens. A little heavy first initial use but once your acclimated to it, it's very easy to photograph with. Have taken some great photographs of birds in flight. Add a 2x Teleconverter on it and it becomes a 600mm lens."

"If you want the best possible lens at this focal length then this is the best money can buy. I think from a value perspective this lens with the various tele-converters give you the most coverage and value for the money. I do also shoot a 70-200mm f/2.8 with and without the tele-converters with very good results, however the sharpness with this lens as expected is beyond comparison."

"Of all the lenses I've used, this lens out performs everything 10 to 1. You could show me 100 photos and I could pick out the images taken with this lens, it's that good. This lens performs flawlessly in any environment we shoot in and is amazing while covering sports in low light conditions."
