Pros: Excellent sharpness, in the center always very incisive "at f2.8 the edges remain a little behind the center both at 24 and 70mm, like almost all zooms!", very soft bokeh with beautiful circular lighting effects and never nervous, solid construction, focal range ring at the right hardness and without play whatsoever, obviously tropicalized, in a nutshell.... Professional and made to last!
Cons: If I have to find any: It costs a lot but in my opinion it's worth all the money spent. The burden for some,... NOT for me! quality with a "Q" takes its toll!
Opinion: As far as I'm concerned, and from what I've been able to test, comparing it to other professional 24-70mm f2.8 zooms I've used, and there are a lot of them, I can safely confirm the excellent image performance as well as the very solid construction. Beyond the pleasant sensation in handling this zoom, you immediately perceive the quality, I think it is built really well. The weight is there, you can't deny it, but I prefer a few grams/hectograms more and have a quality lens that, in addition to being performing, lasts me over time, rather than a lens built with vinavil and plastic to reduce the weight. Nowadays, on the market, there are various "plasticotti" that, although performing as well as paying for them in gold, often do not return a pleasant sensation and do not seem to be made to last. That said, the lens is sharp already at TA both at 24 and 70mm, it suffers a bit from flare in backlight and occasionally there are also slight aberrations at TA especially at 24mm, instead at 70mm they are almost non-existent. Nothing dramatic or irreparable, these are the typical and small drawbacks of a zoom that can be easily solved, both with automatic corrections in the car and with a program on the PC.... With due precautions these problems arise less, so I recommend that you always keep the lens hood on unless you are looking for special effects. I read about someone who is not satisfied with the sharpness of this lens, I use it on my Sony A7R Mark V 61mpx and despite the ultra dense and pretentious sensor, I have not noticed this drop in sharpness neither at 24mm nor at 70mm at TA, obviously I am talking about the image center, clear that, at the edges something at TA is always lost, Especially with very bright zooms, just close one or two stops to have a noticeable improvement even at the edges... From f5.6 up to f11 it's razor-sharp everywhere, closing the diffraction problem again takes over. As for the AF, I can say that it has never disappointed me, it is very responsive and precise. What can I say.... I'm more than satisfied and highly recommend it, as long as 886g isn't a problem for you! |
