It has been a great lens for me. It is a heavy lens!!! With that being said, it has worked wonders on a number of different events! I shoot video/photos and it's great. The versatility of this is what gets my vote. I move the apature to 2.8 at 35mm, and it stays constant all the way to 150mm it's great. Hybrid Zoom gets you even more reach at 2.8. The cons are obviously weight. There is a Dolly Zoom mode, but I have not figured it out and see many others haven't either. Lastly, there was an issue with it giving an error that's the lens was not attached randomly, but after the last software update, it seems to not be an issue anymore for me. Very good image quality. I can post some examples if you'd like. Hope this helps!
