Purchased this lens because it is compatible with FX cameras if I ever got to that point. I have shot a lot of sports with this lens with great results. The only knock is the variable aperture, 5.6 at 300mm doesn't give a lot of room for low/bad lighting conditions. I am now looking at an 80-200mm. But given the cost I think it might be a bit much for the average shooter. For shooting baseball, soccer, etc it works well but for hockey or night sports the 80-200mm is a better choice.
What's great about it: Build quality, picture quality
