This new lens is said to boast up to 4x increase in AF operation and an improved optical performance (not to mention a new white exterior). Read on to see how well it performs in our labs. |

With the vagaries of photographing wildlife, the flexibility of a telephoto zoom would appear to be an attractive solution.

Read on to find out which models have the best image quality. |
