Got this one in a pawn (correct spelling) shop for £10, to use on a K100D body from eBay as a backup camera. For that price, it is a great find. It is effectively a standard to short tele lens on a DSLR, so not for wide shots At anything from room brightness (electric light) upwards, the autofocus snaps it into focus quickly and accurately - much better than I can, using it manually. The auto aperture works well, enabling the camera to produce consistently exposed, reasonably sharp images with quite realistic colours. Minimal processing is required (just a tweak of contrast, brightness, and sharpness) to produce pleasing images. This one must be a good copy of the lens, as it seems to be quite acceptable quality across the frame. |
