Lens Construction
Chart
I recently acquired this lens, and it is very quick & silent on AF. Easy to carry & pack, and contrary to your list of features, it takes both a 1.4 and 2x telwconverters.( the 1.4 with very little degradation of image quality)
Colors are rendered faithfully, and there is very little CA even in high contrast edges.
I highly recommend this lens.
