| ownership: | I have experience with this lens |
| compared to: | Sigma EX 10-20, Sigma 28-70/2.8(old) |
| price paid: | €430(new) |
| positive: | relatively compact bright, sharp walk-around solution. Decent build quality |
| negative: | I prefer the designs of other brands. The look is not as professional as Tokina or Sigma EX. I would have loved a bit more tele. |
| comment: | I decided to take a 2.8 lens rather than the mediocre kitlens, to have better sharpness and AF speed. The lens + a100 makes a nice bright compact set which will suit me for most jobs. Why doesn't Sony have this lens? |
