ownership: | I own this lens |
compared to: | Tamron 17-50 f2.8 Sony ZA 16-80 f3.5-4.5 |
price paid: | 140 gbp (USED) |
positive: | Sharpness Good colour and contrast Inexpensive for the specification OS |
negative: | Touch on the heavy side. Large lens |
comment: | Only soft edges and corners at f2.8-4 detract from the overall excellent sharpness. Colour muted but very realistic compared to Sony/Minolta lenses For the price a 'no-brainer' |
