Excellent lens. Only three beefs I have with it: 1. It's on the heavy side. On my super program, it makes the camera nose-heavy without the winder on it as a grip. If you're using it in a kit w/ a similarly-sized 80-200, not a problem. 2. Specular highlights tend to flare. I first noticed this in chrome trim on a car. I can point to pictures to demonstrate. Probably due to the large number of glass elements in the lens. 3. The Pentax hood for it is pretty close to useless. Find an aftermarket metal hood (67mm), use your hands, or improvise something else if you need a hood. -Mat
