    Actually purchased by mistake for my apsc camera. Did not realize it was both full frame as well as without oss. It was on sale though so thought would work well... I'd recommend the apsc version over this though this will still work on your apsc camera. The oss isn't as important when taking photos but for video makes a huge difference.

    I recently got into photography and was told to get this lense if I wanted those high end shots that have a lot of blur in the background. Instantly I could tell how much nicer my shots were with this camera, makes an amateur look like they know what they’re doing.

    Bought this thinking ‘ok it’s smaller than my current lens but should still do the job’. In my opinion that was not the case ended up switching back to my larger lens and returning this one. You can’t even do a minor zoom-in/out to help get the whole frame of the picture.
