    Cons: Shows some weakness at f2.8 on high resolution cameras like 7D.

    Pros: Compact, light, unobtrusive. Sharp at all apertures on my 5dmk3.

    Summary: Unbeatable lens for fullframe cameras.

    Cons: no image stablization. hood not built-in

    Pros: superb image quality even at max. aperture and when using teleconverter. 320mm f2.8 when used on non-full frame cameras. Affordable for amatures.

    Summary: Fantastic bargain. Prime lens with same or better image quality than much more expensive zoom lenses.
