| ownership: | I own this lens |
| compared to: | Sony 70-200/2.8 G |
| price paid: | Ł130 (new) |
| positive: | Cheap lens with good range. Performs better than you think stopped down. Not too heavy to carry around. |
| negative: | Its a budget lens, so not great. Quality suffers wide open, which is a problem at the 300mm end. Not designed for digital as far as I am aware. |
| comment: | My version of this lens I have had for around 8 years, bought new to use with my film body at the time (2xi). This lens is a great deal for the price, especially with the current second hand prices. Its not comparable to the more expensive lens's, but for someone new to Alpha mount wanting a longer zoom than the kit lens this lens is a good buy. The quality is not superb, but for the price its very good, and with film I have had many happy years of shooting before I was fortunate enough to upgrade to a G lens. |
