@TER-OR I think its a very good lens for the money.
@MikeSF I am more into the IQ side than the focal length.
@Docrwm I didnt know the lens lose their sharpness as the years pass by.
I decided to sell my lenses, and get A50 1.7 and a Carl Zeiss lens between 25-35mm.
With zooms in particular you have to remember that many of the elements are moving - hence their ability to zoom - and that friction, lack of proper storage, expansion and contraction with changes in temperature, degrading of materials, etc. can change the alignment and movement of the gearing. You can also get changes in the coatings and other materials through oxidation and exposure to various wavelengths of light. Primes are less prone to such changes in their operation and precision because the elements are fixed - they have some, but not all, of the issues that zooms can but nowhere near as many.
