Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Build quality feels sturdy and iq is good. Only gripe i have is that the lens hood screws on awfully tight and can be a hassle to remove at times.

One of the top reasons for choosing this lens is because it is user ungradable using a port right on the lens mount. Love the usb port for firmware upgrades. This is the best lens i ever bought and sent back.

There was no problem with compatibility to my sony 6000 camera. Works well with all autofocus modes on both photo and video. Twice for the fuji x-t3, and once for the sony a7r4. Liked everything about the lense.

Has some great heft to it in my hands. Unusually long range of rotation can be troublesome to some users. Also spot focus helps a lot too.

This lens is fantastic. There is so much for us to learn to do with this lens and have been enjoying it so far. Thank you, cheers.



Cons

It is big and heavy.
