| ownership: | I own this lens |
| compared to: | Minolta AF24 f2.8 |
| price paid: | 350usd(Used) |
| positive: | +Wide enough even on 1.5x crop 5D +Good minimum focus distance +excellent color rendition +Good sharpness +usable wideopen +fast AF |
| negative: | -MF ring feels flimsy -plastic body -occasional flare issue(I don't have the stock hood) -noticable distortion when shooting specific objects |
| comment: | My primary landscape/traveling/sightseeing photography lens. Relatively compact so it's not hard to find room for it in the bag. Compared to the AF24/2.8 that I owned before it has a appreciable gain in wideness on 5D, and obviously very wide for any film camera. Good for indoor use as well using higher iso at wider end of the aparture with nice and close minimum focus distance and good coverage. I love this lens. |
