Pros: Compact and bright enough, cheap

Cons: Chromatic aberrations, mediocre quality at the focal canvases, tendency to lengthen in keeping it face down during transport

Opinion: Zoom old-fashioned canvases, with the merits and flaws of the case. First of all it is to be considered a zoom battle canvases for FF but not for dense sensors (so not for Big Mpix), so if used without too much pretension and if you find it used for less than a hundred euros or if you already own it from an old kit , the limits of ACs are forgiven in strong contrasts of light; loses sharpness in the longer focal points, improving a little by closing a couple of stops. It's almost a constant f/4, and for 550g it's no small feat... and you can put up with a backpack even on the go, if you do not look for speed and performance prominent and passes rather unnoticed in the middle of people thanks to the small size and the front lens of 58mm, especially if you do not mount the lampshade. It also behaves discreetly as an adapted lens on the MC-11 on sony A7III, but of course it is far from comparable to a native solution for performance in AFS/AFC. The bokeh is certainly not that of a 200 2.8 or an average canvas fixed more rated to the portrait, but I do not find it even so disastrous on FF sensor. At TA I vignette enough but I consider it a no problem being correctable very well with any post-production program. On APS-C I do not think it is a sensible choice there are certainly better and specific ad Hoc solutions for all smaller sensors (canon 55-250 among all). Finally it tends to stretch if you hold it attached with shoulder and lens down. If you have to find a canon alternative without fainting, a 70-200 f/4 used today is at 400 degrees and is better in everything except in weight/clutter.

Pros: Well built, fast AF, good resolution at all apertures and focal. Very light and compact.

Cons: The performance expires progressively starting at 100/135mm, lacks ' IS, blurry horrible, huge chomatica aberration, lacks the lock of the zoom ring and the lens stretches with its weight carrying it to the shoulder.

Opinion: I had bought this zoom €150 to use it with an APS-C I was very disappointed: the AF hesitant and inaccurate, mediocre optical quality, but all accounts made for the price as a travel zoom for panoramas and architectural details can suffice. For Portraits It is a catastrophe due to a blurry (bokeh) Horrible, the worst I've ever seen. It rediscovered a bit in FULL FRAME, the performance of AF has improved much (in fact it depends on the camera) and the optical performance is a bit better in FULL FRAME, the bokeh is always the last of the class. Then I regret having bought it? ... No because considering the price and compactness I always had in the sack and I never missed a shot when a telephoto lens was absolutely necessary, but I think replace it with a 70-200 L IS F. 4 as soon as possible...... I have the optical correction profile for LR/ACR for APS-C, if you are interested contact me.

Pros: Good workmanship, blurred pleasant, good brightness, fast and silent AF (USM)

Cons: Soft when used in TA focal length

Opinion: I purchased this lens in the search for an economic perspective to match my 17-85 on APS-C, personally I'm pretty happy with the purchase, the 'AF is very fast and accurate (better, slightly, compared to 17-85 ). Brightness is good (almost a fixed f4) and sharpness enough, it tends to fall visibiltmente over 135mm in TA (improves greatly from F7.1). Suffer from flare when you have the sun in the frame. AC almost absent. If you are looking for a zoom lens with this range of focal lengths at a very low price is a good choice.

Pros: Excellent value for money. In good condition with light does not miss a beat. Very sharp. Zoom to pump, I find it very pratico.rnO WRONG THE REVIEW, I am referring AL 70-210 F. 4 FIXED

Cons: Lack of stabilization, but at that price what you want. A little loupe Af and also noisy but minor detail in relation to the photos that churns out this obiettivornO REVIEW THE WRONG, I am referring AL 70-210 F. 4 FIXED

Opinion: I am definitely happy with the purchase made, a lens to be more users compared to the 70-200 F4 L series. I have not tried the L series cited above, but this lens sounds great in value for money. Surely lose a little bit in terms of light is not good because it does not stabilized and this is a flaw, it is a perspective that I think you absolutely must have if you do not have a high budget. rnCARISSIMO Juza WRONG I HAVE THE REVIEW, I am referring AL 70-210 F. 4 FIXED MOVE YOU, THANK YOU AND I'm sorry
