Focusing is automatic and occurs via the camera's internal AF motor, image stabilization is absent. The shooting angle is 46.8 degrees and the minimum focusing distance is 45 centimetres. The lens hood is sold separately. The weight and dimensions are consistent with all lenses of this focal length, thanks to this it is comfortable, practical and well balanced, easily usable in long sessions. The images taken are of good quality, have sharpness and faithful color rendering. Distortions and aberrations are almost absent, while there is a drop in RT performance. The AF motor is noisy and not very precise, probably also due to the age of the support.

It can be useful for both amateur and professional photographers and is very simple to use.
