Great size, easy to carry
This is probably one of the better zoom lenses I've used for aviation photography. It's a good compromise between size, weight and portability. The range of 100mm to 400mm will take care of a good majority of the aviation images I shoot. I've used the Series I and I would have to say that the Series II is sharper and faster. Actually, in my opinion, both lenses work well, I just like the 2nd generation better. I guess it all depends on what you shoot.
I really have come to appreciate the size the more I've used it. Especially covering an aviation assignment for several days, it is a welcome relief than carrying my larger prime lens.
I shoot sports as well and this lens has worked for a majority of my events, i.e. NASCAR, IndyCar, MLB, NCAA, etc. I have even used it for night sports. It works for some, but not on others. It all depends on the venue and how well it is (or isn't) lit.
