Pros: versatility, cost, AF, VR
Cons: edge sharpness, distortion around 18mm, microcontrast
Opinion: A classic economic all-rounder, from whom miracles cannot be expected. The construction is in my opinion discreet and functional, albeit plastic. The focal range allows you to use it in many circumstances, which makes it excellent for approaching photography without investing much, or to keep as a spare or emergency lens, but it certainly does not make you want to be used. The focus is acceptable. As a con, it certainly has sharpness, really low at maximum aperture, improves around f.8, but remains degraded on the edges in any case, at all focal lengths. It suffers from slight chromatic aberrations and fixable vignetting, I wouldn't point to that as the main problem. A big problem, however, if you do street, architecture or landscaping, can be the distortion, which is really present and annoying, at 18mm almost unusable in these cases. In addition, photos with this lens have low microcontrast and little character, the colors are acceptable. The lens is clearly dark, but it is something that can already be guessed by reading the technical sheet, so I would not include it in the defects. In conclusion, I can recommend this lens only if you want to spend as little as possible and have a very ductile object, and not having quality claims, which probably will not be satisfied |
