I've owned two copies of this lens (slightly different versions), one recent, one older. My recent copy is significantly sharper. For £50-£100 it is an amazing value lens. Better sharpness, bokeh and af performance than the two da 55-300 I previously owned. Most photo samples cropped a bit:

On a full frame camera it's a no-brainer. I'm surprised people don't talk more about this lens.

The best image quality from any lens I have ever used. Main drawback: (On my camera) Only Live view AF gives me (very) reliable results at wide apertures.
