ownership: | I own this lens |
compared to: | FE 16-35 E 55-210 at 55, 70 and 100mm |
price paid: | 560 USD |
positive: | relatively light weight, useful focal length range, IQ 1 or 2 stops down from wide open |
negative: | physical size, soft wide open at all focal lengths |
comment: | I enjoy using this lens as my everyday, walk-around lens. It is soft at f/4, but with a little sharpening in post I can't tell the result from an image shot at a native f/5.6. No question, the FE 16-35 has better IQ. But, this lens is better than the E 55-210 from 55-100mm. So, if you want to carry just 1 lens, this one is a good choice. |
