ownership: | I own this lens |
compared to: | Sony 18-55mm DT kit lens |
price paid: | NZ$379 |
positive: | A nice all-rounder of a lens; good colour, sharpness, and compact size make it a great lens to use as a walk-around lens on my A99 |
negative: | Would have preferred a wider aperture such as f/2.8. |
comment: | No aspect of this lens performs *exceptionally* well for me, but it does do everything *very* well - it has become my defacto "kit lens" for general use on my A99, and while 24mm becomes a bit tight for my liking on the APS-C A57 the sharpness and colours are still there. I did pay quite a bit though from a local shop - ones on ebay are cheaper. |
