ownership: | I own this lens |
compared to: | missing |
price paid: | $800 Used/Mint |
positive: | Everything: Internal zoom, solid build, color, contrast and bokeh! |
negative: | Nothing on the a900 |
comment: | I had sometimes toyed with the idea of selling this lens simply because it wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer (on my a700s), but the beautiful colors, contrast and bokeh forced me to keep it and I'm sure glad I did. Now that I have the a900 and have fine-tuned the lens with the camera's "Micro Adjust" feature, I find it to be just as sharp as ANY lens out there!! It now features the best of all worlds! So - long story short = 5s across the board! I'll never sell this lens unless I need the cash for surgery or some other life changing event! Ponz |
