| ownership: | I own this lens |
| compared to: | Sony 18-70 kit Sony 55-200 Sony 50 f2.8 macro Minolta 50 1.4 |
| price paid: | 42 UKP |
| positive: | Compact, light, sharp, cheap, colour |
| negative: | Slight flare issues but hardly worth mentioning at the price these sell for. |
| comment: | Absolutely fantastic lens at a great price. I'm one of the people who finds the kit lens ok but this is so much better. I struck lucky and found it listed badly on ebay and got it at a fantastic price but would pay 3 times the amount for it if ever anything happens to this one. The IQ is just amazing and it is light and compact. The hood isn't too special but I have better lenses to deal with any flare problems so it doesn't make any difference to me. I have no problems with build quality of mine. Everything is solid as a rock. If you see one buy it. |
