Pros: once it was value for money

Cons: on many examples of this lens breaks the diaphragm

Opinion: I bought this lens in 2015 just to have my first telephoto lens at the very honest figure of € 110, in the following two years I used it from time to time also managing to get some decent photos despite the qualitative compromises imposed by the price in light of which it would now be unfair to complain about the lack of stabilization, slow autofocus, chromatic aberrations of the plasticy consistency and various and possible. The only thing that I could not digest and that leads me years later to write this review although I would have many other things to review is that just finished the warranty period and after only a few hundred shots one day I start reading on the displays of all my SLR cameras 600d 100d and 6d mk2 the words "err 01 communication problems camera - lens. clean the lens contacts." In essence, the contacts were clean and the diaphragm had stopped working, first only on the focal length that went from about 180/200mm up to 300 and then on the entire extension of the zummata. Given that in a lens already not very bright and that imposes in the absence stabilizer very fast shutter speeds especially on apsc 1.6x I rarely went to close the aperture above 7.1, but currently once I had this problem it works only at full aperture, then starting from f4 to 70mm up to f5.6 on 300mm. In my opinion, this leads to an accentuation of the above, obvious and understandable chromatic aberrations. Searching on the various sites for an economic solution to this problem (so as not to continue to preserve something partially broken but it seems bad to throw away) I note meanwhile, that many specimens of this lens have had the exact same problem, that it is not even convenient to try to send it to someone who can repair it. I also realized that the price on amazon of the latest pieces produced until 2021 have reached the absurd figure of € 249. DON'T BUY IT. Not for that amount, really it would not be convenient even in the luck of finding the specimen to which the diaphragm does not break. Buy more, even Tamron but higher models, even spending a little more or at most buy it used for no more than € 70.
