Pros: focal lenght of APS Brightness Fixed-

Cons: for the price of none

Opinion: very interesting perspective, the use of Sony A77 and I have to admit that as IQ has not disappointed me. the focus speed is good and the price at which it is located around deserves. Not recommended for those who only naturalistic and sports photos that require a high-performance optical but for occasional use is just fine. Also because of APS_C you have a 300-600 f5.6 which is not bad.

Pros: Build quality, great price, sturdy tripod ring

Cons: Sharpness at room temperature to the maximum extent, slow AF, Purple fringing

Opinion: It 'was my first telephoto lens, excellent value for money, and interesting excursion. The focus is not very fast, especially with machines of a few generations ago (D90), the optical quality is not the greatest, 200 mm is good, but going forward it is obvious purple fringing and softness wide open. Closing improves, achieving modest results. The build quality is great, it is made of pure metal, it is quite heavy, but light compared to the same goals in its class. The collar on the tripod is sturdy and durable.

Pros: exceptional value for money, very aesthetically pleasing, functional and sturdy tripod mount

Cons: a bit slow af, Purple fringing present.

Opinion: found used, complete packaging etc, taking benissimo.Fa his duty, I use it on nikon d300.Certo can not compare with other lenses in my kit, all nikon 12-200 f.2, 8.Ma for spending and the desire of some shots with long focal length is wonderfully perfetto.Fà his duty to use very amateurish and sporadic, not the 200-400 from sports photos on the go or optical professionale.In conclusion if you want some shots with super-telephoto (in aps-c you get to 600mm) is the right shopping.

Pros: Cheap and well built, I would add also beautiful! RnZoom to pompa.rnPesante!

Cons: Purple fringing, unusable 5.6 and subjects over 50 meters if you search for clarity. rnPesante!

Opinion: Looking at the pictures that follow, I am convinced that perhaps the time has come to leave my opinion! RnCome written above the lens has a really good-looking, sharper if diaphragmed, fire (I use it with EOS 60D + BG) is accurate although not fast nor silent, with little light at times hard to agganciare.rnComunque to start a budget I would recommend it, although if they are used very little!

Pros: Economic, up to 300mm the quality is good, and is only decent. Hood enormous, almost long as the lens.

Cons: A lot of purple fringing, especially at 400mm. AF and precise manual focus difficoltoso.rn

Opinion: All in all decent lens, allows you to get to 400mm without sacrificing the brightness (f/5.6) and a quality not to be thrown away. Over 300mm, however, it is recommended to close the diaframma.rnPurtroppo a little purple fringing is an almost constant presence, even in low light not so difficult and this undermines a lot of the final quality scatto.rnL 'autofocus (at least on my copy) was never very accurate, especially at 400mm, and I was often forced to resort to MF.rnIl MF is not easy, due to the small ring and the short stroke (well, you have to be there to sip the mm). rnLo advice if you want to try using a telephoto lens without spending much (I think you can find it at 150 €), but keep in mind that very soon there will be tight and will look for something better.
