The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:More than good performance at all focal lengths. Good excursion and constant opening.
Cons:With the tests done, no one.
Opinion:Unlike other opinions, I find this lens great for both stills and video. Lightweight and quite bright with F4 held at all focal lengths. With the electrically controlled zoom, it is ideal for video shooting. It is very sharp from the center almost to the corners already at full aperture and the other advantage to highlight is that the minimum focusing distance in telephoto position is 60 cm. After trying it for both photos and videos I think I can recommend it.
Cons:very poor sharpness in the corners, motorized zoom (in the photo)
Opinion:I tried two copies of this lens in recent months, but I wanted to wait for the publication of other tests to have confirmation or denial of my results (which seemed strange to me). Now that the optics is on the market and various reviews have been published, I see unfortunately confirmed my results: the sharpness is good in the center, but in the corners (and also already in the lateral areas, without reaching the extreme corners) it is really poor, and does not improve even by closing the diaphragm. Taking into account that it is a very recent lens and the range of focal lengths, despite being almost a "superzoom", is not extreme, I expected much better; I do not recommend it in the photographic field, while it can be good for FullHD or 4K videos (but not for 8K), as long as you do not shoot scenes where angles are important (eg landscape documentaries). The power zoom, certainly great for video (we must not forget that this lens was born mainly for the video field), is instead uncomfortable in photography, where it makes zooming slower and less practical.
