Conclusion

A surprisingly good lens with great image and build quality.
Renders very nice with good bokeh.
Sharpness are very good.

It handels backlight very well but in extremely bright light conditions like shooting directly into the sun can make some really bad internal reflections.
And you can even see the aperture blade in the shot so it's not the best lens for that nice sunset unless you shoot wide open.
Not exactly your normal use for a 200mm so I don't see that as a problem.


Thumbs up:
Image quality, Bokeh
Build quality, Feel


Thumbs down:
Flare and internal reflections (But only extremely bright light conditions)
