The 50-250 is an outstanding lens, and from what I can tell, is sharper than
my 65-200 at 200mm. It is heavier, though, and you have to be very careful
when tripod mounting the camera/lens combination because of the vibration-
inducing unsupported length, especially when racked out to longer focal
lengths. Mirror pre-fire is almost a necessity. Also, if it is important
to you, the zoom ring does "creep" a little when you point it straight up.
Hope this helps,
