Almost perfect "Always top-Lens"

At the beginning of this review, I intend to show that this objective has been tested with a Canon EOS 450D and my knowledge and skills in the field of "ambitious amateur photographers" move. This means in plain language that I want to make pictures that I can especially present digital and possibly also once would be developed in poster size.

The objective of course is a little heavier than the supplied kit lens, but can of course considerably more. The feel like the lens makes a high impression. A lens hood is supplied.

The Zomm works audibly and is somewhat slower than that of the kit lens. The image stabilizer works very well, it is in the "Life-View" amazingly alive to see how the hand tremor own at 270 mm focal length suddenly disappears at halfway pressed shutter button and the image becomes stable.

For my needs, the contrasts and sharpening obtained are sufficient and so I go there not a plan.

There is a star deduction for the mentioned already in other reviews weakness that the lens automatically extends or retracts in the vertical attitude.
