Well, it is a 5:1 zoom including a very wide short end, so I think
what you see is what you get, at least for now.... The lens glass is
heavy, and, though the zoom ring is well damped, the weight is too much
to resist. F5.6 is rather slow for a 120mm, but on the other hand,
few zooms are very sharp wider than f5.6 anyway. It is a good
lens if you are not looking for speed.
Hope This Helps
