Pros: Low price, fast and precise AF, sharp, non-CA, lightweight, construction
Cons: Nothing from lens itself, but tripod ring not included.
Opinion: This was my upgrade from the 70-300mm non-L. I don't know where to start: first I noticed that the construction is excellent, it deserves the "red-L-ring". The image quality is just fantastic, it can be used even at f/4 and the image isn't so soft like other lenses. The AF is very fast and very accurate. I can't complain about it's non-IS or just f/4 aperture, for this price it's just fantastic as it is. I wish that it would come with the tripod ring included. It can be used for portraits, wildlife and events.
Pros: less expensive (poor man pro tele lense); lightweight (perfect for travel); good sharpness; not-too-intimidating lens (good for candid)
Cons: slightly soft at 200mm (for the best result, take at 135mm f/4 or 200mm f/5.6); sometimes non IS affects shake-blur
Opinion: The lens is perfect for travel, & also perfect in term of price/quaility. The only thing you can't get is beautiful bokeh blur - it is not really necessary when we do landscape, reportage or even human interest portrait during travel (you could capture the environment background as a part of story, anyway). To me, combining with another lightweight 85mm f/1.8, or 135mm will be a wise choice. Just my 2 cents ;-). Www.budiharyantophoto.com
The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:Very open clarity. "Immortal" optics, even today I see many who use it. Light and thin. Constant opening. Colors. Price of now in used.
Cons:None other than the non-constant focus between zoom lengths. F4 enough for daytime landscape photos.
Opinion:I use it on Sony Alpha with Sigma MC-11. Great solution so you don't have to buy a Sony analogue or a similar Sigma. I didn't find any problems but you have to be careful with focus as it is very selective, a blade! In some cases the edges soften with a little less sharpness but in the center it is really sharp and detailed. I have to say that it is an approach that still amazes me.
Pros:Light and compact, very sharp from f.4 (to f. 4 just a little soft at the edges). L series, price of second hand.
Cons:Don't have it in your backpack.
Opinion:Just found used at a derisory price. Tried an equestrian contest and I must say it stunned me. In addition to the big brother (70/200 f. 2.8 Mk II), I also own the 300 f. 4 and the 300 f. 2.8, (which I use alternately depending on the situation), but this despite this I decided to try this trinkelin at the competition. Well, it literally won me over. Crisp from the very beginning; excellent micro contrast and sharpness; very fast in hooking the subjects, light and compact on the 1DX mark II makes the work easy and comfortable. Found used for almost nothing, I consider it the best deal of my working life.
Pros:Sharpness, Color Rendering, Bokeh, Construction, Lightness, Footprint, Cost.
Cons:No one you don't know at the time of purchase.
Opinion:The Lens! Mounted on Canon 6D never let me down. Great clarity at all openings, excellent color rendering and pleasant bokeh when used at F4. Light, robust and not bulky, fast in focus and excellent value for money. Lack of stabilizer and diaphragm not bright are not a problem for me. I use it mainly for landscapes and when the light is scarce I support the reflex on the tripod. In short, it has no cons that you do not already know at the time of purchase. Vote 10.
