ownership: | I own this lens |
compared to: | Sony-Zeiss FE 24-70 f/4, Minolta 24-105 f/3.5-4.5 |
price paid: | 85€ |
positive: | Sharp if stopped-down, very beautiful colors, light and small, accurate and fast AF. |
negative: | not so good in low light or backlight because it loses contrast, not sharp as modern fixed lenses. |
comment: | Old style zoom, with an overall good rendition. In most situations it is pretty much on par with the sony 24-70 f / 4, but the colors are nicer. An example: https://www.juzaphoto.com/galleria.php?l=it&t=2874040 |
