A few times cheaper than the f4 version, this is a serious budget zoom lens that's a great option for everyday use. Images are sharp, no major issues, autofocus is fast, stabilization works well, and it's even fairly light. Like all compromises it has its pros and cons but honestly if you know the difference between this version and the f4 version you know you are not getting L glass, you should expect L glass. The reality is this is a great little lens for the price.
