What's Hot: Super Sharp!! Extremely fast focuses even with the TC-20e II teleconverter! A "Must Have" in your camera bag!

What's Not: So far, NOTHING!

Review: Great lens! A bit long but well worth it for the super sharp pictures it produces. I was amazed how fast it focused! That and the VR are worth its weight in gold if you do any kind of fast action photography. Also a racer, I shoot motorcycle racing for WERA and CCS events in the Mid-Atlantic region. This lens has exceeded my expectations, even with the TC-20e II teleconverter. A must have!
