I have ordered the lens in good faith and knowledge of my extremely steady hand and was extremely disappointed. Although the image results - if you take a non shoots wackeltes image - absolutely fantastic, but only on a stand with correspondingly adequate exposure. I take pictures normally only freehand. With my 18-200er / 3.5-5.6 I take pictures even in dim light. At 70: 200 that went at full zoom not even by day in the shade. In addition, the zoom disappointed that precipitates much less than expected. I had to send it back and have ordered a humiliating 100-400er with stabilizer.
