A beautiful pebble with an effective stabilizer and optical quality which creates a real gap with the kit-type targets. Its maximum aperture of 2.8 is quite appreciable. In low light, the autofocus loses the pedals while the stabilizer would shake a sharp picture: damage. Why not 5 *? I would add that mine has a small point on the hardness zoom and a slight play on the axis.
In summary, a purchase which I welcome every time!

And yes! He still sits on my camera and always gives me much pleasure. Since then he has seen India, Moscow, the mountain hikes in the snow, weddings, meetings ... and as I assume it's there to grab and not be protected, I must mention the little hardness mentioned has never been a problem and despite treatment some limitations that have suffered, it remains faithful to the post: beautiful!
