ownership: | I own this lens |
compared to: | af28-105 f3.5/4.5 |
price paid: | 290AUD w/ new uv |
positive: | Oh so sharp Zooming doesnt extend lens Very quality built |
negative: | Auto-focus slow/hunts eg. in darkness, with very close colours (not really a negative, just considering certain conditions with lens) |
comment: | Found this lens in the camera trading post (forgot the name) and I went off the gut feeling and numerous reviews on here to check it out. I felt the price was a bit too high, but there were two lenses in store so at least I had a choice. The lens I got doesnt seem like it was used much or at all. And... Its everything that the 100+ reviews mention and more. Sharpness, bokeh, build... The negative above I would say just comes with such a lens... If the AF starts playing up just go to manual focus which is quite decent to use as well on the lens. A classic lens for sure. |
