price paid: | £349 |
positive: | Solidly built Sharp Generally good distortion control Much Cheaper than the 35G!! |
negative: | A little soft wide open at the edges of the frame. |
comment: | This little lens has surprised me in it's performance. I have read about the magic of the 35G but from reviews couldn't se that it was much better than this lens. I am really pleased with this lens, solidly built and trial shots have pleased me. The edge softness wide open is not a major issue. I bought it specifically for it's low light capabilities, compared to the CZ16-80 which is very sharp at this focal length. I will report on my findings shortly (wedding this weekend)! |
