What 35-150mm at f/2 actually gives you
35-150mm sits close to the way the eye takes in a scene, which is why this range tends to get used as a general-purpose focal length.
f/2 is fast enough to keep shutter speeds up in poor light and to separate a subject from its background clearly.
Size and filters
At 1165g (2.57 lb) it has real presence on the front of a camera, though it stays hand-holdable for a session.
Filters are 82mm — worth checking against what you already own, since polarisers and ND filters at this size are reusable across any other lens sharing the thread.
Autofocus, stabilisation and weather sealing
Autofocus is driven by a VXD motor.
There is no optical stabilisation in the lens, so handheld steadiness depends on the body having IBIS, or on keeping the shutter speed up.
The barrel is weather-sealed, so rain and dust are a manageable risk rather than a reason to pack up.
