Title: Bad ergonomics, drastic focus hunting
Review: Sure, this lens is ultra sharp, but there is more to a lens than sharpness. IMHO, this lens is an ergonomic nightmare: it is simply way too heavy and fat for a 105mm telephoto. Plus the big bayonet hood makes it look and handle like a 300mm or similar long telephoto.Besides bulk of this lens, I had trouble with focus hunting where it would occasionally rack 2-3 times from infinity to the close limit before finding the focus point. This is unacceptable for a lens at this price point.I returned it because I dreaded carrying this 1.5 lb brick. I really wanted to like it. The images were great, when it focused.
