The lens handles well and is nicely built, but the system is a little outdated. The picture quality is generally good, with sharp images at various zoom levels, but there are some issues at 300mm, where the corners become quite soft. It also does not handle bright light very well, producing interesting lens flare and a loss of contrast. The bokeh, however, is nice with no harshness or highlights.
