I do not profess this to be a full review, and yes many of you will say one day is not enough to suss out all the negatives and positives but I think it does give you a realistic view of general performance.

In this video I discuss how the lens handles, autofocus performance, the implementation of the 1.4X teleconverter and initial thoughts on the optics of this amazing lens!
