| ownership: | I own this lens |
| compared to: | Sony 18-70 Minolta 70-210 |
| price paid: | 620 SGD |
| positive: | Sharp Bokeh Fast Beautiful Colors |
| negative: | Zoom ring seems a bit tight and slightly heavy but I'm being really picky. Wish it was a 17-70. |
| comment: | I love this new addition to my lens family. I got this as my new walkaround lens after researching and choosing it over the Sony 16-105 and the CZ 16-80, and I'm glad I did. It's wonder fully sharp, love the colours and pleasant bokeh. Not that bad F2.8 as well. Don't think I will be taking it off my camera anytime soon. It is a bit heavy and falls short on the tele end but hey you can't have it all. Value for money all the way. |
