This is the first time I have used this lens in 5 1/5 years. No complaints though.

Seems nice and sharp. What compelled you to take it out for a spin? And what replaced it in your kit 5 and 1/2 years ago?

I quit using it when I got the 40-150 f/2.8. Heavier, yet more versatile for me. My usual lens to carry is my 12-100 f/4. It is usually mounted on one of my bodies. I took the 40-150 f/4.5-5.6 out because I was anticipating my usual walk. A truck was blocking my way so I went another route and walked up a very steep dirt road instead, and I was wishing that I had my 12-100 with me due to the panoramas I was presented with. Another inconvenience is it's more difficult for me to type out 40-150 f/4.5-5.6 vs 40-150 PRO.
