5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly sharp, September 19, 2001

By	Francisco Solareslarrave "Professor with a ca... (DeKalb, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was looking forward to using this lens and it didn't let me down. The pictures I've gotten with it are very sharp and surprisingly balanced in light and color. Only drawback: weight. This is not a lens to carry around or take quick snapshots because, in addition to the weight, which makes the camera too heavy to hold adequately, the focusing can be a little tricky and easy to lose. Once I got used to these "difficulties" I really enjoyed this lens. The zoom is outstanding!! I would recommend buying a tripod w/this lens--which is, by the way, a real value for the money.
