Compact, lightweight, large aperture telephoto zoom lens designed exclusively for digital SLR cameras and incorporating the very latest optical technology.Specially designed for digital SLR cameras with an APS-C size image sensor, this large aperture F2.8 lens has a compact and lightweight construction of 76.3mm (3.0?) in diameter, 135.1mm (5.3") in length and weighing just 770g (27.2oz).This lens offers a large aperture of F2.8 over its entire range of focal lengths and its large depth of field offers greater freedom of creative expression. This lens is perfectly suited for low light conditions indoors or at dusk.The incorporation of the very latest optical technology gives optimum lens performance providing excellent correction for several aberrations. High image quality is assured throughout the entire zoom range. Four SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements are used for utmost correction of chromatic aberrations.The super multi-layer lens coating reduce flare and ghosting, a common problem with digital cameras and also creates an optimum color balance.This lens has a minimum focusing distance of 100cm (39.4"). Maximum magnification of 1:5.3 enables close-up photography making it very convenient for taking close-up pictures.The lens design incorporates an inner focusing and inner zooming systems. The overall length of the lens does not change during focusing or zooming, ensuring convenient handling. In addition, since the front of the lens does not rotate, a circular polarizing filter can be easily attached and use.

Conclusion: Light and good working distance
Review: I switched to this since my Nikno 70-200 was really getting heavy for a day of wedding photography. What i like: Very light, good working distance, nice easy zoom, fairly good images. What i dislike, a little soft at F2.8. Much better at F4.5. Not as vibrant colors...slighly cooler. Can easily flare...make sure you use the hood. No VR means you better shoot at fast shutter speeds or have really steady hands. Overall, a keeper for me. I now use this more than my 70-200. :-)
