Pros: A true horse of breed, speed and precision, sharpness, colors, stabilization, construction born to last, blurred by poetry, the best choice for a professional even today.
Cons: The weight is felt but you know it from the beginning, second-hand price considering the years it now has.
Opinion: Recently purchased to replace its little brother F2.8 not stabilized, the difference is truly remarkable, the smooth version was already pure poetry, between colors, fairytale blur and sharpness even in TA, but this is really a top-of-the-range product since 2010, historic for many photographers and still a sacred monster in 2024, professional on all aspects, the feeling it creates with its reliability and safety is indescribable, from portrait to reportage, to sport it really manages to give its best, very sharp already at TA, engraved colors, saturated, well blended and progressed with light, all combined with a monstrous speed in autofocus, With an exceptional "click" at the start, the stabilization acts targeted and permissive even at unthinkable times. One and only sore point, even today the price in used goes from 1100 if you are lucky to 1350 euros in like new condition, which I think is a bit excessive given the age, but given the performance still today and the "caliber" of this lens, I can say that despite everything I am fully satisfied. Needless to say, I recommend it to anyone who is looking for the lens to buy once and never upgrade again. A true sacred monster. |
