Pros:
|
Lighter than the old version, easier to hand hold for BIF.
Sharper than the old version.
|
|
Cons:
|
I did not like the lens foot, replaced it with a NatureScape.Net Lens Replacement Foot. (NSN CLF-456) which has lower profile and is lighter.

I owned the Mark I version of this lens for almost seven years.
My goal with the replacement was to have a lighter version of the same lens.
One and a half pounds lighter weight doesn't sound a lot but in fact when it comes to hand holding it is a lot.
I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a lighter big glass.
