Pros: flexibility of use, lightness, fluid and precise focus ring

Cons: Chromatic aberrations, barely sufficient sharpness

Opinion: After some practice with this lens I can say that it is extremely fun to use, and the possibility of going from a focal length of 100mm to 300mm (on FF, otherwise with the conversion factor for Canon APS-C - 1.6x -, we are on an equivalent of 160-480mm) is certainly an advantage, because it is possible to capture any subject at medium-long distance. The intrinsic lightness of the lens (it is almost all made of plastic material) is a merit and a defect at the same time, because it is quite fragile to the touch and the risk is to damage it easily. Risk not too remote since it is a lens certainly designed to be transported and tossed around, certainly not from stalking. What is really a limit, however, shooting handheld, is the poor sharpness of the images, even shooting at times well above the safety ones; which nullifies the sense of such a flexible objective in terms of potential and modularity of use. I reserve the right to try it with a tripod to assess if in fact it is a problem of my dancing hand. Even more serious as a problem but, apparently looking online, typical of this lens, is the very strong chromatic aberration that occurs indiscriminately on all images, at any focal length. All things considered, I would recommend this lens only to those who have no pretensions and are looking for an inexpensive solution to approach the world of telephoto lenses.
