Pros:
|
Great quality, build and layout.
|
|
Cons:
|
Auto focus is so-so, bigger brighter viewfinder would be nice.
|
|
|
A nice transition from the D30. But now its time to go to the 1D Mark II.

|
Pros:
|
Decent zoom range, IS
|
|
Cons:
|
Not sharp and very slow in auto focus and max aperature
|
|
|
In broad daylight this lens handles it self fairly well, but in low light situations its all over. The IS is nice, but niosy and battery draining.

Pros:
|
Nice zoom range, faily leight weight for having IS and 72mm filter size
|
|
Cons:
|
Slow, foor focusing, not sharp
|
|
|
I expected more from this lens, maybe its a bad copy, but was disappointed. The IS is nice, but even in daylight on a tripod its hard to get a real sharp image. Its a good zoom range though for carrying around

Pros:
|
Good coloring, close min focusing distance
|
|
Cons:
|
Not as sharp as expected

|
|
Not real wide on a 1.6x, but a nice leight weight lens to add if you don't do a lot of wide angle shots

|
Pros:
|
Sharp! Great colors and bokeh
|
|
Cons:
|
Really have to watch out for the small DOF at close range, a little long on the 1.6x's
|
|
|
Debated between the 70-200 F/2.8 and this, sure glad I got it. Its so sharp its ridiculous. Couldn't be happier, especially when I upgrade to a 1.3x from a 1.6x

Pros:
|
Small, well padded
|
|
Cons:
|
extra straps are worthless except for mabe a monopod, and the shoulder straps aren't well padded.
|
|
|
I've taken this skiing, hiking, biking etc and landed on it without any problems.
