  Pros: Massive zoom range, good center sharpness until beyond 100mm Cons: Corners aren't great, distortion, sharpness suffers past 100mm

  Pros: Vibration Reduction; covers all the focal lengths I need Cons: Not sealed (getting some dust specks in between front elements)

  The Bottom Line: Great lens. Worth the price for not having to swap lenses.
