Pros: Lightweight, economically unchallenging, excellent performance at medium apertures at least 400mm

Cons: The stabilizer could be comfortable, but it can be done without

Opinion: Bought 2 years ago used in excellent condition for my lady, who wanted a light tele to follow me in the photonaturalistic outings. While not lightning-focused, at least on Canon, is fast and without uncertainties. Tried at distances between 4m and 40m (then even beyond that useful in naturalistic) behaved admirably. Well sharp at full aperture at 170mm, it softens up a bit by stretching the focal length as logical to expect in such a zoom, at 400mm it gives the best at F/9-10, at 500 better close to still; From F/16 begins the physiological decrease by diffraction. I do not know if I happened a particularly happy specimen, but compared with my EF400/5.6 It turned out (clearly!!) a little lower as detail at 400mm, to recover something at 500mm thanks to the major focal. My wife is delighted, manages to handle it freehand without problems or at most with the monopod, certainly 300 euros well spent

Pros: Excellent value for '/ price yield up to 400mm

Cons: Speed ??'No AF zoom lock Soft to maximum focal

Opinion: It used for about 3 years before on D90 and then D7100 giving me good satisfaction. Good quality 'constructive and lenses ... shame about the lack of zoom lock ... tends to extend on the way when you point it down. Valid from 170mm to 400mm ... from 400 up is a bit 'soft ... in the presence of good light and aperture from f / 8 to f / 11 has given me excellent results, of course, always keeping in mind the objective category .. .Production AF older and therefore not very fast but with a little 'practice you can make great shots even on the fly even in the absence of stabilizer. Personally and 'a lens that I would recommend to anyone who is approaching the photographic hunting and does not want to spend big money right away because the second hand market you can find well-kept specimens around 300 Euros. In short, a zoom is older but that, if properly tamed, can 'still have their say.
