AF007N700 Zoom Lens

Pros: Vc, Sharp Cons: Other thoughts: !!Winning!! for $300 less than full price. Took kids pics recently, very very sharp and bokeh is awesome. I read lot of good reviews on this lens and to spend that kind of money, I was little hesitant and now I am glad to spend extra amount after looking at the results.

Pros: Quiet, Sharp images, Fast autofocus, Build Quality Cons: Other thoughts: This is a great lens. It's sharper than both my 24-105 F4L and 17-40 F4L Canon lenses at the same focal lengths. Ultrasonic Autofocus is fast and quiet. With the F2.8 it's great in low lighting. At over a grand less than the comparable (and at this point unavailable) cannon 24-70 F2.8 it's a steal.It's a big lense, if you're used to kit type lenses. It's pretty close to the same size as the 24-105 F4L Canon. I didn't put that in as a con because that is typical of high end lenses. I was a little worried about spending this much on a off brand lens but did it anyway and am glad I did. It has the same dust seal as my L series lenses. Other than missing the red line around the front I like it every bit as much as my Canon lenses.
