It's a fine lens by most accounts, obviously not autofocus and you will need to decide what focal length to set the shake reduction to.

Look at SFX/SFXn cameras as well. The F 35-70mm was the kit lens with these and you can sometimes find one for sane money that way. I paid £30 for mine attached to an SFX, if you don't want the body you'll probably get a few quid from selling it on.

In a word "Brilliant" never compared the two but I would prefer it anyday over the F. It's a constant f/4 as well.

Watch out for element cement separation at the front, looks like fungus. It still seems to work OK with it though.
