Customer Reviews

the überzoom
this is one beast of a lens, weighing over 3 kg. However it is well worth every euro it costs. The sharpness of this lens is breathtaking, rivaling with the prime fixed-focus lenses it encompasses. The trade-off is that you get an F4 lens in the embodiment of the 500 mm, as compared with the 2.8 primes (200mm - 300mm - 400mm) which are slightly less heavy. This implies the 1.7 and 2.0 teleconvertors become manual-focus. VR works flawlessly, and it is possible to make perfect pictures even with the current mediocre light at 400 mm. This is easily the best zoom ever made.
