ownership: | I own this lens |
compared to: | 35-70 min 35-70f4 min 17-50f2 tamron |
price paid: | NZ $180 |
positive: | sharp nice weight colour |
negative: | lens wobbles a bit when fully extended |
comment: | I use this lens for mushroom/toadstil photos mainly and for that it is great. But as an all rounder it works almost as well as the Tammy 17-50 which I prefer. I'd love to use it on a ff camera just to see what it is like but on the a580 it is just great. It's just as sharp as the 2 35-70's but more versitile. |
