Cons:The inaccurate and slow autofocus (but maybe it's more the fault of the camera body), weight.
Opinion:Given that with Pentax ks-2e kp also with other lenses I had some problems with accuracy of the focus point. With Kp, since I was dissatisfied with the focus I tried once again to make the fine adjustment of the focus verifying that at different aperture the adjustment changed a little, I still did not come to terms with it definitively. On the other hand, there were very few alternatives on the market and already when I bought it new it was out of production.
Pros:equipment of accessories, autofocus, wide focal range
Cons:maybe the weight, but it's a price to pay given the wide range of focal lengths at stake
Opinion:I had been looking for it for a long time in adequate conditions and price, found in Germany at 650 € and in impeccable condition and I took it on the fly. excellent equipment of accessories supplied: hood, hood adapter to use it on aps-c, the bracket for the tripod and the usual beautiful carrying bag, goes to complete my kit consisting of 17 50 2.8 os and 50 150 2.8 os of which I am extremely satisfied. the lens is beautiful massive, well built and weighing about 2kg, not really easy to use freehand, but given the extension of the zoom is more than adequate. the image quality is good, it will be evaluated in good climatic conditions since in any case the brightness is what it is and certainly not a lens to be used in critical light conditions. the stabilizer is quite quiet and fast to insert, the autofocus on my 7d mark 2 is fast, responsive and precise like my other optics. in the end I am extremely satisfied, it is not a lens to carry around every day but rather specialized but it was exactly what I wanted
Pros:Absolute power, with a nice day and a Blade...
Cons:Heavy, you have to have your muscles for the first few months available, then everything passes...
Opinion:I find it a little heavy, after 4 hours of walking in the mountains, but it does its duty, with a beautiful day and a blade to take photos of Avifauna and always ready ... With the Flipside 400AW and a backpack born for the 50-500 it enters it mounted with the paralute inserted, comfortable and clean... It has never made a fold always ready, tropicalized summer / winter, under the snow it has behaved very well, the bracket stand is perfect, it acts as a handle for transport and you do not realize that you have it in transport, at least after 4 hours of walking in the mountains, you feel the weight ... Paid new €1,600.00 uro in 2012 and I wouldn't mind taking the new Sigma 150-600mm-F/5-6.3 Sport I'm sure I make a good purchase, like the first... Greetings to everyone... (MGNELLO)
Pros:Focal excursion, versatility, discreet construction, price to use
Cons:Sharpness
Opinion:I say that I do landscape and naturalistic photography and that my opinions are based on this kind of experience. For me it was a Love-Hate relationship. Bought again in 2017 I used it in really difficult situations, from the ice of the poles to the mountains of centennial Asia alternating satisfaction with frustration. Such a focal excursion allows you to take up so many opportunities without running into the problem of changing the goal. This allowed me to take home shots that I otherwise could never have done. Unfortunately, however, versatility is paid for with the poor image quality. At long focal points it begins to be sharp enough to f7.1 to beam its best from f8 to f11. This means having a really dark view and in many areas difficult to use. On a 36 mpx ff, however, you never have sharp photos enlarging the photo to 100%.... reaching 60% of the actual size you notice a very important softness. A right lens for itinerant photography that must be taken into account its limitations.
Opinion:I was very satisfied with the performance of this lens, especially the sharpness is very good. It weighs a lot (2 kg) but if you want quality is a price to pay and you have to quote it.It is tiring to carry and cumbersome, but the performance repays all! RnrnSenza doubt one of the best lenses in my possession ...
