Pros
- 1. Sharpness, it's just phenomenal! Across the entire field of the frame at all focal lengths. It is especially good from 200mm and above, and at the very end, as is often the case with televisions, the sharpness hardly changes. Naturally, there is no question of any cover of the diaphragm, everything is open. For example, on the Tamron 150-600mm G1, the already dark 6.3 had to be covered up to 8, so that at least the center of the frame was relatively sharp (by 600mm). 2. Focus is lightning fast! After the Canon 300mm f/4L IS, it's just instantaneous. 3. The stabilizer is effective, four-stage, with three modes of operation. 4. The minimum focusing distance is slightly less than a meter. For a focal length of 400mm, this is very cool, you can shoot almost macro =) 5. Size. After Tamron 150-600mm G1, it generally seems pocket-sized. 6. A handy thing - a ring that changes the style of focusing, in the soft version it turns the lens into a trumpet (the owners of the first version of this lens will like it), in the hard version, focusing is classical - by rotating around the axis. 7. Convenient lens hood with a button, twists and turns like clockwork, clearly and smoothly. 8. Removable foot. Sometimes it is a very handy feature.
Cons
- At this price, they just don't exist. And they are not there because this lens simply does not have a competitor, with its characteristics, in its niche, with its price, there is nothing. I came up with one - clinging to clothes, the lid in the hood periodically opens, which, to adjust the polarizers, would latch there.
