| ownership: | I own this lens |
| compared to: | Sony 18-70 Kit |
| price paid: | $470.00 (new) |
| positive: | Fast Constant aperture Good color and contrast. Flare well controlled |
| negative: | Large filter size. Slightly heavy. Could be a bit longer in the telephoto end. |
| comment: | I like this lens. It is sharper than the SONY kit lens though it doesn't have the reach. Images are sharp at all focal lengths. Sharper wide open than many lenses out there. Highly usable wide open. A very good lens for indoor use I dislike the large filter size as getting a Circular Polarizer is going to be an expensive proposition. |
