| ownership: | I own this lens |
| compared to: | kit, 28-70G, Sig 10-20 |
| price paid: | 198 Euro |
| positive: | Sharpness, color, constant 2.8 which can be used with confidence |
| negative: | Some distortion (easily corrected with PT Lens) |
| comment: | Had an extremely lucky find for this lens on sale and for that price couldn't resist it (NIB with full warranty). Picture quality is very good from wide open (right there with other G-glass), pleasing colors and fast response. Some distortion (as with any wide zoom) is evident but correcting it in PP is easy. Sharpness better at 2.8 than the Sig 10-20 at 5.6 in the range they overlap. |
