As I needed to replace some general purpose zoom lenses with those of a more standard telephoto lens, this was just one of several that I purchased to help with my bucket list was full and my cancer finally killed me. I have not regretted the decision nor the high cost.

Sharpest lens on the globe! Don't believe me Go to dxomark and sort by sharpness among all tested lenses, comes first, I just rented one, and am still excited about it, I just think that possible to have cheaper zooms with this quality someday
