ownership: | I own this lens |
compared to: | Minolta 50/1.7 Minolta 24-105/3.5-4.5 Sigma 55-200/4-5.6 |
price paid: | 40EUR (kit lens) |
positive: | lightweight good optical quality cheap (as kit lens) |
negative: | barrel distortion at 18mm kit lens sold without hood very plastic ... but what we want for the price |
comment: | Plastic, but optically very good and useful. Biggest problem is barrel distortion at 18mm, but it disappears at 24mm. I used it for very long time, but finally replaced it with Minolta 24-105, because it wasn't long enough for me. But I kept this lens as backup. |
