Everything about this works great! Stabilizer is fantastic, the zoom range, and the included hood. My only complaint is that the focus mechanics are really noisy. If I was just shooting photos, this wouldnt be a big deal, but Im also shooting pro video, and I cant have that little bit of noise in the background. Id also say that the furthest zoom is not quite 50mm. I have a Canon 50mm prime, and that prime is zoomed just a tad farther, so Ill still keep my 50mm prime handy just in case I need a little more range. Last detail is that it has some weight to it, which is nice, but it also means I have to add more counterweights to my steadicam rig I use, but this is definitely becoming my new favorite lens!
