| ownership: | I own this lens |
| compared to: | Sony A100 Kit lens (18-70 mm) Minolta AF 50mm 1.7 |
| price paid: | 390 EUR (new) |
| positive: | F2.8 throughout the range is great. Zoom range is great for portraits and "across the table" snapshots. Pictures look a lot sharper than the A100 kit lens. |
| negative: | Not much. It makes the kit a bit heavy and the somewhat hard zooming requires some time to get used to. |
