Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Avery B. ★★★★★

The autofocus via the Silent Wave Motor locks onto birds in flight almost instantly, even in low evening light. It's sharp wide open at f/2.8, which gives a beautifully blurred background. Definitely a heavy lens, but the image quality makes the weight worth it.

Lucy K. ★★★★★

The Silent Wave Motor is incredibly quiet — I can track fast-moving subjects without startling them. This lens is heavy, but the image stabilization through the viewfinder is solid and the focus snap is immediate.

Aurora ★★★★★

I finally got to shoot some birds in flight with this lens, and the Silent Wave Motor makes the autofocus feel instant and nearly silent. The f/2.8 aperture lets in so much light that I can keep shooting well past sunset without pushing the ISO too high.
