I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

In general, the lens will suit everyone except for professional portrait photographers (this category will have to carry fixes, although they themselves already know this). For everyone else, an excellent tube, in principle, for lack of a better one, you can put up with an inflated cost. Do not buy a light filter right away, most likely you will not need it. You shouldn’t drag this lens into the forest-mountains, after all, plastic is not metal, if you break it, you’ll be upset, because it’s really expensive, you took a steam bath for a month, drowned the toad of greed in your soul and bought it - after all, we live once! Often overexposed. Flash (and knowledge of flash) will greatly add to the results of the glass. If you don’t pull a bucket of fixes, this lens will help solve problems in most cases. After the purchase, now I’m only thinking about buying a 24-1.4 fix (for group photos), another 16-35 lens, although good in its own way, but in such a wide angle there seems to be no big need (for already owners of 16-35 - these lenses are like brothers, only the corners are different, they have all the features in common, in general, think about whether you need it - maybe it’s better to think about a good fix). And it is desirable to use this lens on a penny and no less, at 600 it is mistaken too often. In general, sometimes its "fragility" is really annoying - you wonder if you can take something cheaper for shooting (like 24-105 / 4 from a whale), especially if you have to shoot almost for free at the request of the management.

Pros

The main thing is the sharpness for the type of "zoom lens", just super! Someone compares with fixes, everything is relative, more specific: fixes with aperture ratio of 2 or less indisputably lose to him in everything, with aperture ratio of 1.4 (except half a lens of 1.8) and more on their focal lengths, they will do this zoom by 100% (in reality they will be better by about 30%, but no more). I got a tube with accurate autofocus both on crop (600D) and on full (5Dm3), the first two months the autofocus was accurate, then occasionally it does not focus on difficult targets (a sideways glossy white stripe on a light background). The color rendition is also on top, in reality it does not lose to any fixes. A plus to what was said earlier: I began to smear autofocus ((, Filters are expensive enough. At dusk, I now use manual focus more often - before there were more emotions.

Cons

The only downside is the price! Well, in reality, it should cost no more than 70% of the cost of the new 70-200 II 2.8 / f. And, yes, the hood is really unsuccessful. but, apparently, this is due to the angle on the full frame, just a feature, but it is undeniably necessary. at 70mm this tube loses to the 70mm Canon 70-200 II 2.8/f. Filters are expensive. Focusing at dusk is wrong - you have to do everything with handles. Good fixes are clearly preferable, but you have to carry a whole bucket.

Gorgeous staffer, I like everything about it! Sharp autofocus, picture color, working 2.8, etc. Even portraits are good at the open and long end. I don't want to take it off the camera.
