  • Epic super-telephoto zoom range, Good build-quality and performance, Great value for money,
  • Still pretty weighty, Sharpness drops off at the long end,

  • Good value, lightweight, weathersealed mount, excellent image stabilization
  • Custom functions not programmable out of the box, small focus ring tough to use near tripod color
  • The Contemporary probably isn't the best choice for pros demanding the highest quality optics, cost be damned. Sports and nature photographers may be leery about taking this lens into any but the most pacific climates, which is why we'd suggest the Sport...
