| ownership: | I own this lens |
| compared to: | Sigma 18-200mm |
| price paid: | £390 |
| positive: | Long range and very versatile. Good IQ for a super-zoom. Not too heavy. Impressive feature set. |
| negative: | Distortion at the wide end as expected (16-20mm range) Soft at the very long end. CA in most of the range. Some corners softness. Price is a bit high. |
| comment: | I really really like this lens. For a superzoom lens it's great, the IQ is not quite as sharp as the Sigma 18-200 until stooped down, but its more than makes up for it with the ultrasonic focus (PZD), weather sealing, wider and longer focal range. I thing it's the best superzoom lens on the marked, so if you are into superzoom lens then I can't recommend this strongly enoughf. If you are into pixel peeping, then a superzoom is not for you. |
