Pros and cons

According to our camera lens expert

• The zoom range makes the lens suitable for reporting, travel, landscape, and architecture photography.
• Thanks to the large maximum aperture of f/2, you can use the lens in dark locations.
• You focus quickly and silently with the USM focusing motor, which ensures professional video images.
• The lens doesn't have image stabilization to reduce motion blur.
• The lens weighs 950 grams, so it's best to use a tripod when you use it for longer periods of time.
