    This review pretty much nails it: http://www.dpreview.com/lensreviā€¦

    Soft at 135, I can see that as possible, but when I was using it I was generally at the extremes, shooting either 24-35 or all the way at 200mm. At 200 it is very sharp.

    It is what it is, a lens that can do many things decent, but few things excellent. I found the 200m the only excellent area. That said, it is tiny for a 200mm lens, and that is primarily what I wanted for my limited use.

    Definitely don't buy the hype that some people, Ken Rockwell I think, said that is was as good as the 24-70 2.8 at many things. That's just crap. This lens is not even on the same planet as that glass.
