| comment: | This lens is great for what it is, a lower cost fast zoom lens. It hands down blows the kit lens out of the water. IQ is very good not as good as the 200mm G lens but getting close. I have been very happy with this lens, the only complaint is that the focusing ring was very tight new and has loosened alot. It has loosened to the point that when zoomed out to 24mm and lowered it seems to lock at 24mm. I have to angle the lens up a little to get it to release. Thinking about sending it back for repair. |
