ownership: | I own this lens |
compared to: | A-mount: Minolta AF 24-105 Sony CZ 24-70mm f2.8 G SSM many other A mount zooms |
price paid: | 600GBP |
positive: | Great multi-purpose lens. |
negative: | Difficult to find any negatives - could be a tad sharper and one could always do with another stop of light or more range. |
comment: | Reading the previous reviews I have to agree with Wetapunga that it could be that little bit sharper, but it's a very fine lens with a really useful focal range. Unlike Travelshots I cannot say it is better than the A-mount 24-70/2.8, my 24-70 is a little sharper and, of course, there are times when the extra stop comes in useful. However, the 24-105 is noticeably lighter than the 24-70 + LA-EA5 - much easier to carry around. As an inveterate A-mount user I have to say that the really impressive thing about this lens is the flare control - impressively better than my older glass. |
