This is a really excellent lens.
- Sharp from f4, and extremely sharp at around f8
- Great handling due to small size, light weight and all-metal construction
- Nice bokeh
- Virtually no distortion (geometric aberration)
- Built-in hood (not very big, but much better than nothing).
Downsides?
- The sharpness isn't great at f2.8
- Moderate amounts of green/purple fringing towards the edges of the lens at all apertures
- I wish it would focus closer than 1.2m, but that's probably asking too much of such a compact lens.
Overall, this lens is a joy to use, gives great results, and is very good value! |
