I suspect there cannot be anyone with a complaint about this lens. It is just superb - pin-sharp wide open. I now check for sharpness at 100% & I sometimes see myself reflected in the eyes of wild birds!!!
The accessories are a completely different story. Don't let them put you off - simply replace them to make a brilliant lens perfect. My recommendations are in brackets.
The gorgeous case supplied does not comply with airline hand-luggage rules - (Think Tank)
The lens cap is the worst thing since unsliced bread - (AquaTech Soft Cap)
Finally, for the icing on the cake... a replacement foot from Kirk Enterprises for quick release heads, and camoflage from LensCoat
