(text by P.S.) This is one of the most used pro lenses, and not without a reason. I shoot with it outdoors, indoors, in concert halls: it always delivers lively photos with strong natural colors and great sharpness. Super-fast and silent focus motor, zooming does not change tube length, realtime manual focus - it\'s all there. And it has a feel and look of a handmade sports car. With this lens is that you\'ll be noticed for sure (which is sometimes good, sometimes bad). Came with a big lens hood and a stylish bag.
