Although there is already a successor, I have decided for this lens. It was supplied by Amazon within 2 days. On the glass can not be faulted. It delivers tack-sharp images, only the telephoto zoom range falls Performance somewhat. Neither of the haptics nor its features there's anything to complain about. Also, I can not determine a partial binding of the tube. Only the hood sits a little lax on the front, but is not yet fallen. The lens is ideal for people who do not want to carry around multiple lenses, and still want to have a tremendous Zommbereich available. Have never regretted in any way the purchase.
