comment: | Just bought this lens two weeks ago, and I'm loving every second I spend with it! Last year, I chose the Sony DT 16-105mm over this lens. Sold that. And now FINALLY bought this. It's one of my dream lens! Though this lens is no Carl Zeiss, But the images I get from it just pops every time I take a picture with it! And also for the fact that it's dead cheap! It's worth every cent I paid for it and it's the best lens for me to pair with my Sony DT 55-200mm. Though the images from this lens is amazing for it's price, the build is a worry for me. Out of the box the lens's front end felt shaky. But it's not that much of a big deal for me. I still love it! |
