    Fast, sharp zoom lens. I used mainly prime lenses and was tired of constantly switching lenses on the go. This was on sale and I went for it. No regrets, wonderful lens.

    It’s a G Master so obviously there’s no better lens to get with identical features/specs. Sure it’s expensive but once you use it you’ll understand.

    Great lens, previously had the Zeiss f4 and decided it was time to upgrade and couldn't be happier. As a wedding photographer this lens stays on my camera 90% of the time and I would consider it a must have.

    Well built, fast focus, reasonably sharp (as expected at this price point). Not very outstanding in this very heavily competitive product category (Canon and Nikon both have better performers for their system). Maybe the next version (supposedly due soon) will be amazing, like the MK II of Sony’s 70-200 F2.8
