Many thanks for the review.
As usual the review matches my experience with this lens.
I don’t have canon 70-300 IS to compare them.
This lens actually matches and even exceeds my expectations.
Just to cool off some superlative that flies on Internet.
- the reproduction of small details /read it high frequencies/ are far bellow my two macros. Tokina 100 and Sigma 150Macro
- the contrast is really impressive. Maybe that is why the lens receives a lot of “Wowâ€, †Superb†and “outstanding†comments in internet.
- flare control is similar to my Tamron 17-50. However the two lenses has different FL.
- color reproduction and rendering is similar to my Tamron 17-50
Klaus, I have one question. Did you try this lens at tripod?
I found this lens too heavy in front. Finally I solve this problem with one home made anodized aluminum plate. Now the camera quick release is located at centre of gravity.
Thanks in advance
