Pros: 600mm, not heavy, cheap, looks very good and solid.

Cons: According to price its hard to find cons.

Pros: Focal range, stabilizer, AF speed

Cons: Weight, F/b Focus, sharpness, exaggerated lens hood, raw file detail, no tropicalization

Opinion: Bought used on the forum, impeccable conditions, I thought it was a good compromise as first tele. Right from the start he suffered from F/b focus which, despite the fine adjustment made over and over again, I never solved. The raw was matted by a mist "fog effect" that with a thread of non-optimal light forced me to trashing the file. Even at ISO (out of 70d) over 800 i traked the shots. I tried all of them: stabilizer on/off, shutter mode, fine adjustment AF, Acquasanta (jokes) but nothing. On other camera bodies other than mine was distinctly superior. Ah.. And it opened at F/4 to 150 and to f/5.6 to 600 (instead of 5.6-6.3)... Strange thing. Only on my camera body. I deduced after a thousand reasonings and opinions that the specific objective and that specific machine were incompatible. It is not common but with compatible it might happen. From the same user I purchased a 400 f/5.6, and I sold this. It changed my life!

Pros: Versatility, sharpness up to 500mm, weight

Cons: 600mm soft, zoom ring for a bit hard ..

Opinion: I come from 400 f / 5.6 L and 500 f / 4 IS L, so if I speak of sharpness, some comparison term I have. Initially I was not satisfied then, with the fine adjustment of the AF, everything has changed. It is true that the whole opening is detached from the trimmers but closing already f8 and without exceeding the 500mm the rendering at the level of sharpness does not matter at all .. (Look at my last photos x believe it.) But I do almost never hunt itinerant to I always shoot at a maximum of about 8mt where the lenses are not put under "effort." If I have to make appointments where I'm not sure about the distance of the subjects I bring the 500L that is more generous under that look .. the weight allows you 'Free-hand use helped by good stabilizer. Zooming is a bit hard and with a long hike. Voting 8

Pros: Price, stabilizer, weight

Cons: Tropicalization absent

Opinion: I have this lens just recently and I've only taken a few hundred shots but I just fell in love with it. The overall quality of the lens is very good and the plastics also give a very good feel to the touch; The sharpness is higher than my expectation and I must say that I was surprised. Then I would say that the stabilizer really does miracles, allowing you to shoot at 600 mm with a 1/125 s (!!!) micrometer time, really amazing . The anticipated only defect in my opinion is the absence of tropicalization that poses the risk of infiltrating dust over the years even though I do not think anyone has ever experienced any real dust-infiltration problem.

Pros: Crisp, high stability, excellent usability, price / quality really convenient

Cons: Hood a little too "toy"

Opinion: I received this week and today, taking advantage of the beautiful day, I went to test it in the oasis of wildlife "Le Cornelle" near Bergamo. The impression I have reported it is great, very sharp images up to the limits Zoom, AF speed is very good, easy to use even freehand. Today I tested only free hand without using a tripod and the result is more than satisfactory.
