ownership: | I own this lens |
compared to: | Sigma 17-70/2.8-4.5 KM 20/2.8 |
price paid: | 399 Euro (new) |
positive: | Very useful zoom range for me Reasonable build |
negative: | Very severe backfocus! |
comment: | The backfocus is quite bad and I did not continue to test or use it. The ratings of "4" are more to fill the squares than a meaningful rating. I am resonably sure this was just a bad example and I may try another some day. |
