ownership: | I own this lens |
compared to: | Beercan 70-210 f4 sigma 17-70 os hsm (os system) |
price paid: | £350 |
positive: | lightweight sharp very sharp. bokhe is very pleasing. Pretty fast AF in good light as its an outdoor lens this goes hand in hand. |
negative: | no vc for sony but sold at same price! |
comment: | Great optics. Light. I have taken some fantastic portraits using this lens at 70mm. Contrast is good colour is fantastic its not minolta beercan but better in its own rendition. I think paying vc price when its not incorporated is the only thing that taints my purchase. The sony steady shot on board both the a55 and a77 is good but in my experience the os /vc built onto the lens has been superior. That apart it a keeper. |
