ownership: | I own this lens |
compared to: | Minolta 28-105mm 3.5-4.5 Sony 16-80mm on aps-c |
price paid: | 100 E |
positive: | good range on FF lightweight and compact OK sharpness stopped down |
negative: | vignetting at 24mm stiff zoom at tele end sharpness not great at wide open distortion |
comment: | When I switched from aps-c to FF earlier this year, I initially got Minolta 28-105 mm as a walk-around zoom. While the 28-105 is marginally better in every aspect (except for size and weight), not having the 24 mm focal length really bothered me. I therefore acquired the 24-105 mm and I am pretty happy with it, accepting its limitations (see negatives above). The 16-80 mm for aps-c is in another league, that is one lens I regret... |
