Pros: High optical quality, cheaper than its cannon or nikkon rivals.
Cons: Very fragile.
Opinion: I bought this lens one year ago. Takes quite impressive pictures. However one day the lens broke into two parts right in my hands, without any
physical force. Made a quick research on the net and found out similar cases. They used fragile plastic parts inside the lens and it breaks into two right behind the focus ring. Probably cannot carry its own weight. So beware.

Opinion:I don't know what those who criticize this lens are they shooting with, with a 100 mpix Hasselblad? I don't know what you're expecting. on Sony A7iii I find it perfect, sharp already at f4, improves from f5, good performance, compact, fluid ring just right, presence of the tripod ring, very fast and responsive autofocus, even in video. Intelligent internal zoom. I don't see any reason to buy the updated version, except for the presence of the macro.
Pros:Autofocus, image quality, construction, ease of use
Cons:Keys a bit rubbery (I'll explain below)
Opinion:It will soon be ten years old, and by now it has dropped out of the charts, replaced by the brand new mark 2. This lens, however, can still have its say today, it has everything: size, weight, image quality (I would like to try the new version to understand the criticisms directed at this one). The zoom ring moves perfectly, fluid but not loose, always precise, a pleasure. In short, a great old lens that can still give great satisfaction: the short-toed eagle is always the short-toed eagle. The only flaw are the buttons on the lens which are a bit rubbery, they move well, but it is so easy to touch them involuntarily and move them, without noticing.
Cons:stabilization not as effective as stated but not bad either, we are on the order of 2 stops
Opinion:We hear good and bad things about this perspective. As for my specimen, it is sharp and the autofocus is very fast even in the most sporty situations. (children's matches, nothing like that, rugby and skating). Tested alongside the 70-180 tamron, the autofocus is superior. It seems well built to me and is not too heavy
Opinion:Used for about 1 year and a half on A7rII, I would not buy it again, it was the only Telephoto lens to disappoint me as a general rendering, I owned Canon's white on 6D and 5DsR (70-200 F4 L IS USM) and the 70-200 F4 G ED VR on Nikon D810, the Sony? the worst of all, sharpness just acceptable to TA, improved a bit at f5.6 and f8, aberrations evident in many shots, general flat rendering, in my greater range of use (70-100mm) the loss of sharpness at the edges was very evident at TA, really a shame because taking it in hand I perceived an excellent build quality, exceptional autofocus, stabilizer ditto! and despite everything also the weight quite normal, not using the longer focal lengths 135-200mm has just been replaced with the 24-105 F4 G.
