comment:	It's very well built. Sharp from wide open, very sharp stepped down 1 stop. Bokeh is better from 7.1 when shooting with contrast background. Much smaller than Sony 18-135, Sony 16-105, Sigma 18-125 and similar lens. This lens is a keeper. It's in my bag all the time. Great walk-around lens.
