| negative: | - not so wide on APS-C |
| comment: | PREVIOUS: My copy is definitively not so sharp, even stopped down is far from the results of the other lenses. Maybe the lenses are a bit disaligned but i don't know... (READ BELOW) EDIT: I used this lens with my A77 and the sharpness problem went away... maybe it was a backfocus problem or similar with the A200, that can explain why it showed at all apertures. Now the sharpness compares very well to the 16-50/2.8 and it's only a bit less than 50/1.7. This lens has very beautiful colors and bokeh at wide open, it's lightweight and small enough to be very confortable to carry with. |
