None... none... none Rate This Lens 1 = bad - 10 = excellent [9.5] Optional Comments:
Bought on a whim... needed something longer than the 85mm for indoor shooting and this fit the bill... this is probably the second best lens short of 200mm that I own... better in image quality at 135mm than the 70-200/2.8L IS.
