    obviously a good lens, but I almost had to take this back to the store because the lens cap was so badly jammed in the lens that I had to use a butterknife to get it out :(

    Time lag between shots is unacceptable for action shots. The experts at the store could not explain why it took so long to cycle between shots. Returned as unacceptable.
