Our Verdict
At 780g this lens is particularly lightweight for a telephoto zoom and with a fixed wide aperture of f/4 throughout the range, it is a fantastic option for when discretion, quick focusing and clear results are required. What more could you wish for a wide range of photography subjects as diverse as travel, portraiture and landscapes?
The ergonomics are second to none, we love the manual focus-ring that facilitates fine adjustments to be made to the focus points, and the ergonomic design not only makes it user-friendly, but feels sturdy too. At around half the weight of the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM lens, the loss of 1 stop of light is worth the weight saving to many users. Add in the convenient 77 mm filter thread, weather resistant construction and image stabilisation and we feel this is an excellent choice for Canon users.
