I can be very unhelpful, in saying that I don't know anything about this lens.


I can relate that I used to want a Canon 28-300 zoom lens. After learning, however, about the compromises inherent in increasing the zoom range, I fell out of love with that idea, and never returned to it. For a given level of quality, you'll likely pay more for everything in one lens compared to multiple lenses to get the same quality.


I don't think it's a bad idea, mind you. Having it all in one may very well allow you to get lots of shots that you wouldn't otherwise get. if somebody dropped a 28-300 in my lap, I would give it a chance.


But, it's not a path I chose to pursue. Most of the time, either mount/bring what I think I might need, or just use what I happened to leave on the camera. if i think I might need more than I can do with one lens, I carry two bodies.


I hope that wasn't an utter waste of your time. I'm sorry i couldn't provide any experience with that lens.
