There are pros and cons, think before buying.

Maybe, of course, I got a copy worse than others. Maybe the "handles" need to be corrected. Yeah. But. You can get a good picture, but only with skills in Photoshop. JPG-er is acceptable only under simple shooting conditions, but still almost always requires climbing into curves and a histogram. RAW improves things, of course. However, the need to cover the aperture to 6.3-7.1 is somewhat sad. I try not to push more than 135-150mm - soap climbs even on the covered one (not lubrication and not wiggling - checked). I was given it as a gift - so there are no regrets.
And I’ll answer the show-offs about “handles” - correct your “eyes”.

Pros

Availability, low price, especially in the secondary market. Sufficient sharpness starting from f6.3, but up to 200mm, then - soap.

Cons

Mediocre color reproduction, often insufficient contrast, sharpness on an open (for him) aperture can only suit if there is nothing to compare with. 300mm - non-working practically. This is if compressed.
