Pros: Zoom without lens excursion, effective stabilization, f/4 diaphragm constant over the entire focal, a discreet handyman
Cons: During the standby it loses the focal to which it was left and returns to 18mm, slow to light again, distance of focus rising fast up to a maximum of 0.9 m to 105 mm, feedback of the electroimplemented nuts questionable
Opinion: I had this lens for about a year, and I sold it for "despair" because I couldn't really feel it mine. As image quality is good, although compared to the current 24-105 and Canon 18-135 I had, it returns strange colors, greenish in general. I had acquired it attracted by the constant F/4 diaphragm, interesting in that price range... Too bad that the focus distance is variable according to the focal distance (I think it is the duty to pay to have the advantage of a lens that has no physical excursion during the zoom, that is, always remains the same without extruding the front element), coming to a Maximum of 90 centimeters at high focal lengths... Forget about close-up photos of objects, flowers and more with this lens at focal pressures. In addition, if you leave the camera inactive and it goes into standby, the lens returns to 18 mm, but the restart does not reposition where it was left before; In addition, the reactivation is slower than normal because of the electroimplemented movement of the zoom, which loses precious seconds if you want to make a scalto on the fly immediately after standby (several times I nervously assaulted the shutter button to Those fractions of second lost to resurrect the lens and zoom in remembering where you were before). Being the electroimplemented zoom, if you rotate quickly the ring does not correspond an equally fast shift of the focal, returning an unnatural feeling. Moreover, the zoom, even having a slider dedicated to videos, is not very homogeneous in the movement very slow, sometimes moving in jerks. Apart from the slow movements, it is instead convenient for controlled zooming or the detailed to panoramic passages typical of some methods of video shooting. Very effective stabilizer, also convenient for movies; In fact, in the movies is even more powerful, but I do not know if it was due to coupled with the IBIS sensor. I would have preferred that Sony had produced an identical version of this lens, but without electroimplemented motor and with lens excursion, so as to have a normal 18-105 F4 at a great price. |
