Very sharp. Slower, but accurate auto focus. Made by Komine and Cosina.

Pros:	Sharp pix
Cons:	Closest focus 8 feet or 2.5 metres

Have not tried it with extension tube.
Continuous autofocus for birds in flight with 10D on manual focus comparable to continuous AF with regular AF lenses.
Forgot to mention in original post it is a 3.5 lens i.e. 200 mm @ 3.5.
