| comment: | this lens is to my taste one of the nicest far zoom lenses i have used to this day. (not compared the sony ssm lens, which is to expansive for me) thanks to the built in usm motor the autofocus is around 95% of the time on point with the subject. some times it misses it becouse it starts to hunt but when it has got the subject it can mostly keep up. the sharpness of this lens is for a zoom exceptional to me. i have used some primes and i have to say, it comes close anough for me. CA mostly isn't a thing with this lens. it can show up but when it does, it is in very low amounts. distortion is 'when not corrected out of camera' present but can easily be corrected. the built to me is a bit of a mix to me. the lens tends to creep and the af-mf switch loves to be rocked to the wrong setting when putting in a bag and when getting it out. this is why i gave built a 3 if meanly the switch was a bit stiffer i would certainly give it a 4.5. |
