Great lens, however, they've messed up the ergonomics by swapping zoom/focus rings, which made it really uncomfortable to hold and use. Image quality was good, not amazing, but that's okay. Sharpness was impressive but lacked when at 210mm and minimum focus distance. Speaking of MFD, the magnification was impressive. Build quality is okay. For me, I just couldn't get on with lens' ergonomics. If it was going to be used PURELY for landscape photography then I'd have kept it. Sadly, I did return it and will take a look into Canons V2 70-200mm f4 - I don't need the f2.8's!
