ownership: | I own this lens |
compared to: | Minolta 100-400 Sony 18-135 |
price paid: | $70USD (used) |
positive: | Cheap |
negative: | Extreme CA Soft - esp towards 300mm Focus is slow with some hunting |
comment: | From 100-200mm when stopped down, sharpness approaches acceptable. The worst problem is that, with any contrast in the scene, the flare & CA are terrible. Of course careful correction will get rid of most of the problem but that just improves things from comic to merely unacceptable. Maybe mine was a bad example... |
