This lens is very well made definitely.
The pictures, which you can do with the lens speak for themselves.
The application range of portrait and macro is self-explanatory. However, one can also make many other shots with the lens, such as landscapes. Here, however, the size and bulkiness of the lens is negative consequence.
All in all it is a great lens and value for default at the level of other major market leaders.
From me a strong buy recommendation.
