This lens is surprisingly sharp for a superzoom, specially when used between aperture 8-11. It's also very compact (smaller than my 18-50 2.8!) It's very nice as a "traveling" lens, and performs very well for that purpose.
I cannot agree with the previous review about bad focussing. The lens I own does a perfect job on focussing on my K-5, very fast, silent and correct. I do not have to adjust the focus point at any focal length. To be sure before I wrote this down, I did an extensive test this afternoon at all focal lenghts. Also the varying softness across the frame and the so called "wobbling" do not occur with my sample.
Depending on your subject and composition you could recognise some cushon distortion, but overall I am very satisfied with its performance and would easily recommend it to others. |
