| ownership: | I own this lens |
| compared to: | 50/2.8 Macro 50/1.7 Kit len |
| price paid: | 285 USD (Used) |
| positive: | Light weight Constant aperture of 2.8 |
| negative: | Len become longer when Zoom Loud noise when AF |
| comment: | This is the standard Zoom len that i buy it to replace my kit len. Great to be use in indoor using external flash. Great sharpness @F5 onward. In low light shoting @ wide open without ext flash, the sharpness just can't fight with 50mm macro, but AF is faster. When zooming to 50mm, then len protrude out and it is quiet hard to get sharp image. You may need to hold the len firm in order to get sharp image. A Prime len is a better solution. |
