ownership: | I used to own this lens |
compared to: | Tamron 28-75 F2.8 Minolta 28-135 F4-4.5 Minolta 35-70 F4 Minolta 35-105 F3.5-4.5 Old Minolta 50 F1.7 RS Sony 50 F1.4 |
price paid: | GBP 125 |
positive: | + Retains good colour and AF in low light + Great convenience - small, lightweight, MFD. |
negative: | - Horrible flare control, not seen this bad on any other lens - Images have a flat, 2d look - Heavy vignetting on full frame, doesn't go away even when stopped down |
comment: | I didn't like this lens... images seemed to have a very flat, 2d look and also the flare control was very poor. Shouldn't have been any coating problems as I bought the lens brand new (low price due to Jessops sale). For full frame, suggest either the Tamron 28-75/2.8 or Minolta 28-135mm instead. |
