Pros: Huge aperature, amazing zoom, VR
Cons: somewhat heavy

This lens is AMAZING! I love working with it, has made me quite a few excellent photos. Alot of other reviews mention that the lens has ghosting and flare effects but I have not seen them except for extreme circumstances. The lens is a good workout for your biceps this thing is really heavy, I would definately recommend getting this if you need a lens with huge focal length and large aperture.
