Its wide range, very strong and reliable optical performance as well as its user-friendly ergonomics make it the ideal long-range zoom lens to achieve a wide variety of shots. It can be used in conjunction with a 1.4 or 2x extender to achiever an even longer range, or with the exclusive Vantage Hawk Anamorphic adapter.
