ownership: | I own this lens |
compared to: | Tamron SP AF 17-50 F2.8 Tamron SP AF 35-105 F2.8 Minolta 50 F1.7 |
price paid: | 80 USD (used) |
positive: | - Small and lightweight - Nice sharpness in center of image - Pleasant bokeh - Cheap and easy to find |
negative: | - Soft corners, needs to be stopped down at least to F5.6 to produce sharp image on the edges - Big CA - Big vignetting on 35mm frame - Flares, useless hood |
comment: | Nice walkaround lens, good for street photography. Not as good as should be for landscapes because of weak corners and CA. Although it's far from perfect, I like this lens and I've made very nice pictures with it. |
