ownership: | I used to own this lens |
compared to: | Tamron 28-75 Tamron 18-250 |
price paid: | 3500 nok (new) |
positive: | Sharp Fast auto focus Great colours |
negative: | Cheap build quality Loose plastic front, the one who holds the front glass. I had to glue it... To short range - what about a 17-60 f/2,8 :-) |
comment: | Without the build quality problems, probably the best aps-c lens for a-mount. I miss the wide end on my 28-75, but the latter one feels it has way better build quality. |
