positive: | The build, solid. sharp, color, bokeh. Fast AF - very fast. |
negative: | It is a little heavy, but I like the balance with my a700. AF ring could burn your hand. |
comment: | I've had this not for so long. But I do really like it. The colors, bokeh, build - you name it. It is worth every cent I bought it for. My copy is not so sharp at wide open, that's why only 4.5. The flare control is due to the lack of hood, but with a hood mounted it will be a 4. I tend to use it often and I have mounted on my a700, as my everyday lens. It is a keeper, unless I get a hold on a better copy. Updated: I've two copies now, and I can say that the sharpness is quite impressing. And with the metal hood bought from ebay, the flare control is good. |
