ownership: | I own this lens |
compared to: | Minolta - AF DT 18-70 F3.5-5.6 D; Tokina - AT-X 17 AF PRO F3.5 |
price paid: | 150 USD (new) |
positive: | Cheap, built "like a tank", sharp-sharp-sharp... |
negative: | missing |
comment: | Best 150 USD I've ever spent. This lens is just outstanding, considering the price. Slight CA and lack of AF and aperture automation, but other than that... you just have to love it! Color rendition and sharpness are just amazing. Flare was never an issue for me. |
