| ownership: | I own this lens |
| compared to: | Sony 18-70 kit lens Minolta 50 1.7 |
| price paid: | in A 300 kit |
| positive: | Light Sharp Nice color/contrast |
| negative: | Filter ring rotates, otherwise nothing for this price (600 EUR for the Alpha 300 double zoom kit) |
| comment: | This is a wonderful little lens - much better than the 18-70 kit lens with regards to sharpness/contrast. Focuses a tiny bit slower in low light, but it is to be expected. No zoom creep. Bokeh about average. All in all, for the price in the kit - I would say best value for money (maybe the Tamron 55-200 may beat it in this respect, if it has the same IQ as reviews suggest). |
