I will write as of 2022, otherwise everyone is already too fond of this lens. In my opinion, the lens is a little old and poorly resolves the matrix crop: carefully look at which camera the reviews are written on, most likely on a full frame. Used please, but take a new one - nafig. I switched to the latest 55-250 IS STM and am more satisfied: yes, the picture is worse and darker, but, damn it, it is sharper! And lies in a pocket in a terry sock and is not a pity.
