Pros: Good detail up to 3/4 of the range, beautiful colors, poetic rendering, compact and discreet, pump zoom

Cons: A bit weak at longer focal lengths, especially at TA, it stretches by itself, mechanical focusing, not very fast, the front element rotates

Opinion: The fact that it costs very little is obvious, it is not in itself a virtue. But it is thanks to the reduced amount (100 euros) that I took away the curiosity to take it and try it, and I was surprised: I used it thoroughly and always with great satisfaction. Its greatest value is its personality, the poetic rendering, given by saturated and warm colors and pleasant vignetting, visible at TA at all focal lengths and especially at the longer ones, where it remains even at f5.6. It returns pleasant, interesting, particular photos. The detail is there, it is very good up to 140/150 mm especially closing at f5.6 or f8, but in general it does not stand out for being a blade, much less going up towards 210mm; However, I don't suffer it as a defect: it's part of his personality. If detail needs you shoot with low ISO and safe times or stable support, and then you work with PP sharpening. However, this is not its purpose, but the character it manages to imprint on the image. I think I will keep it and use it a lot more, I like it more than other more engraved and modern lenses I have. The only thing really annoying is that it stretches itself inexorably, but they willingly forgive it.

Pros: Color saturation, blurry, robust mechanical construction

Cons: Sharpening to 210, autofocus not very fast

Opinion: I purchased used this lens as new at 40 euros. The premise is fundamental because I didn't expect anything exaggerated from this object other than a good feature. Instead I had to think again and enjoyed the weight money. Up to 150 focal goes to the great with a sharpness even at a really good opening. The blurry is splendid and you make really quality portraits. One thing I love about this lens is color saturation. The definition is of the details is excellent and the only flaw is the loss of sharpness towards the maximum focals that is improved by diaphragm towards 8 or 11. Behaviors however typical of this type of objectives. I did not perceive flare effects in backlights and chromatic aberrations. Let me say that if you have to take pictures of subjects in strong movement or sports scenes it is not the right article but if you take it to the mountains or take portraits of your child it is instead what is right for you because it does not weigh a lot and is sufficiently manageable. In the end the vote is full and if you happen used put well buy it because you will not have disappointments for 40 or 50 euros ......

Pros: Sharpness, price, yield of focus

Cons: Ring MF-looking "delicate"

Opinion: Paid a ridiculous figure on ebay (100 €), knowing well his good appointment, even went beyond my expectations. A 70mm has already a nice sharpness to f4 which further improves turning a bit '(5-5.6 onwards). It loses a bit 'towards the maximum focal length: usually I avoid going over the 185 / 200mm.rnrnMio father its close relative 50-200 f3.5-5.6 and had problems with the dial. Knowing this, I'm careful not to force it, and I never had inconvenienti.rnrnPer those with limited budget and want to start raising the bar is a must!

Pros: Price, macro, zoom to pump, good sharpness, good autofocus on 70D.

Cons: for the price, nothing.

Opinion: Pleasantly surprised by this view, 70D of the autofocus is fast enough, I was expecting much worse, of course noisy. Good choice of how macro-infinity and 1.5m-infinity. On Aps-c cartoon little. A bargain when you consider the price of around 100 Euros. Interesting zooming pump, although, some times the lens extends in a manner accidental. PS hood unobtainable.

Pros: Lightweight and compact, it seems current scale on the focus, macro function Vera, Sharpness, f4 constant zoom to pump, filter diameter 58mm so inexpensive price.

Cons: Plasticky on some points, it stretches when tilted down, dated Af / noisy, hood expensive and hard to find, lack of stabilizer, ring focus not too fluid.

Opinion: To tell the truth, this objective is the only way to understand how you must shoot with a professional telephoto zoom, if you know how to use it, you learn to take good pictures, spending nonsense. rnMolto Sharp in the center, on the edge of little cartoon Aps-c, a bit 'more about FF, but absolutely nothing to worry about. From the best of himself with the small aperture between f5.6 and F8, in this case becomes an Executioner, crisp edges and three-dimensional images very similar to Canon 70200-F4. Used with the stand to f16 is identical to the canon of landscapes 70200 F4.rnPer street do use the option 1.5m on otherwise put in serious difficulties the engine, as it has a macro function that really works and then will expand the field Research focus exponentially and (as all targets that have this option) accordingly goodbye to the moment good. Chromatic aberrations typical lens from Canon and not too obvious is correct in PS. You can safely use in the servant if you want to take pictures of flownthem, but be patient if sometimes wrong (I would say even too) still has 30 years and passes. The colors there are, are real but not exceptional, so you have to learn to work well the Raw file. Af needs to be used well, it teaches you to look for the right contrasts to focus on speed and still the central point is effective, a little 'noisy, but definitely less than the Sigma Sigma 15-30 EX or 105 EX macro. Above 200 mm loses its sharpness, so try not to push it to the limit; It is without a stabilizer. Open to F4 is a good goal (identical to the Sigma 70200 Former stabilized open however to F2.8). You can do concerts if you have good hand (1 / 60- 1/80) and a good camera body that is resistant to high ISO. Very resistant to flare and then teaches you how to use it creatively without losing sharpness in the images especially in Stages with powerful lights. rnLo blurred not at the level of the 70200-F4, because it seems nervous, but is really nice if made slightly soft PP. rnTirando sums is a goal that I recommend youtively to those who want to seriously with photography (and building the park optics with the revenues derived from it), but in the future already thinking about the 70,200-F2.8 (as I did) maybe I stabilized. It allows you to skip the 70200-F4, makes you grow from all points of view and technical style, raising awareness of the user. Spending a banality. A gym essential. If you want to stop there and amateurs instead, you buy 70,200 F4 spend almost three times (on second, four times on the back) but Serete more happy and satisfied. Good light.
