The autofocus motor is quiet and works quickly, and the lens comes with a generously sized focus ring. However, it does not have image stabilization, so it's best used with a camera that has in-body stabilization. The image quality is good, with sharpness and minimal distortion across the zoom range. The lens performs well against bright light, with minimal flare, and the bokeh quality is on the good side of average, making it a good option for its price.
