I like everything, the price and the quality are both ok.

For the price - a normal lens. In the presence of experience and knowledge - quite a working model, if there is good light. If you didn’t have telephotos before, then you won’t master it with a swoop. Nothing can be shot with hands at a long focal length with a shutter speed longer than 1/60, in addition, it should be remembered that the aperture forces the light to be pulled out with all its might by the camera settings, including ISO, which leads to matrix noise. On a tripod, the situation with soap improves, but the same moon blurs a little at 300mm, which again is corrected in the photo editor (not completely). For those who think 300mm is a lot or a little: from the 16th floor, the number of the car in the parking lot, after 100 meters, is visible, the craters on the moon are visible.

Pros

75-300mm, easy to find filters, bokeh, accessibility. The carcass with it and an external flash looks impressive.

Cons

Soapy at maximum speed, autofocus behaves strangely, sometimes it doesn’t see an object point-blank for 10 seconds, then it sharply clings to it for a second. Chromatic aberrations are quite strong, but they are corrected during processing. With extended trunk - huge. The weight is almost 500 grams, which is generally the norm for a telephoto, but this does not make heaviness a plus.
