I was a bit hesitant to buy this, as I wasnt sure about being limited by a prime lens, and I wasnt sure about the autofocus, as I had heard a lot of things about it and not all good!
However after initial testing in the back garden, I am VERY impressed!! Pin sharp even wide open, and reassuringly weighty, although slimmer than I was expecting. Yes the autofocus is slow and noisy, but it does the job. Would I like the AF-S version.. Sure, but its double the price this was.. so its a no brainer.
I bought it mainly for the upcoming airshow season, but to test I had to make do with some smaller winged objects.
This is a 100% crop straight from the camera, with just some sharpening as it was shot in RAW.
Safe to say this lens is very sharp, and should be even better when the light improves!
