Great to use outdoors and easy to use. However, pretty heavy to carry around.

The lens was reasonably priced........compared to the other zooms it's size. Also, the weight for a 600mm zoom is excellent. Can be used handheld. The G2 version is a better product than the Ver 1.

An ambitious lens that would probably do best if micro-adjusted - mine has a severe back-focusing issue. If focus issues can be resolved I would rate it a bit higher. While it does not have the high image quality compared to Canon glass, it costs considerably less!

the lens is great--but when I called back to purchase a u/v filter for the lens--the camera dept on the website asked if I needed to go to fitness and gym equipment--confused with this and went on line to another more qualified store and purchased what i wanted to purchase

Not EF compatible like you would want

I felt like the lens itself was built well and did the job, but it claims to be an EF compatible lens. While it mounts on my Canon 5D Mark III, the corners were cropped, so I lost much of my photo, because of the incompatibility with the full frame sensor. I wish Best Buy and others would fix this in the description. I have complained about this with the store and to their credit they did take the return, but it is misleading to others looking for a less expensive option for their camera.
