The best purchase in my life, I will definitely buy it again.

I didn’t have enough space in the merits, I’ll add it here:
- you can shoot something very close to macro.
- not afraid of water, despite the retractable design. I shot on the ocean in a downpour, at least henna to the lens, but there are few good pictures, the front glass quickly began to be covered with drops, although the hood delayed this moment.

I am completely satisfied with the lens, I bought it as the most budgetary TV reporter, then it turned out that it is also very good as a portrait lens. The quality of the picture is clearly more expensive than its price. I shoot them on Nikon D700. I hope my review was helpful to you.

Pros

Given the fact that I bought this lens for 12 thousand, I can’t put less than five! - very light for a telephoto lens - autofocus speed is above average (much faster than 50mm 1.4g) - sharp at all focal lengths. Here someone writes about soap at the long end, and so, especially for such people, first learn how to handle the technique, and then write "abstruse" reviews, while reading I shed a couple of times. Everything is absolutely drastic on the long end, even with a little flu. - good work of the stabilizer. On a bet, I took a clear shot at 300mm with my hands at a shutter speed of 1/10. - pretty good bokeh. But boring, too simple, although I realized this only after getting acquainted with the 85mm fix, before that I really liked everything. - despite the small aperture, desperately shoots in poor lighting. It was easier to get a good, not blurry frame on it than on 50mm 1.8d, probably due to the stub and the large diameter of the lenses. - Well, and most importantly, it's quite a juicy and beautiful picture, I was pleasantly surprised.

Cons

In general, for such a price they simply do not exist. But I'll name the main ones. - often lacks autofocus speed when shooting flying birds at the long end. But this is if the birds decide to do aerobatics, and so, birds flying more or less stably and smoothly, quite normally catches the focus. - after falling in a photo backpack from half a meter, some kind of bushing responsible for focusing flew off. It cost 5 thousand wooden ones to put it back. After that, autofocus began to get very dull at the long end. It's most likely a repair issue. But here, as a drawback, I mean precisely the fragility of the structure, do not drop the lenses :)))
