Pros: Versatility, VR, fast AF (not very fast..)
Cons: Distortion but, above all, painful, pe-no-so (!) in the flare resistance, exaggerated price.
Opinion: I bought it recently, new extract from kit with a three-year warranty at a reasonable price, slightly higher than that of the 24-85. I think I've already summarized the meaning of this lens. It offers good sharpness on almost the entire field, but not at F4, where, over the entire zoom range, it loses in this respect. The distortion is evident, at least up to 35 mm and you have to take it into account when composing the photo if you want to correct it in pp. VR very effective, the AF is quite fast but not like that of the 70/300 I already owned. The color rendering is beautiful and seems faithful to the reality of what you are shooting. The best thing about it is the versatility given by the wide focal range, which allows you to keep it mounted in at least 80% of situations. What's wrong, but really isn't right? The flare tightness! I have called it pitiful, and I am not exaggerating. If you take photos against the light towards the sun it is already very evident, but it is in night photos with a fixed camera and long exposure that it is simply impossible to use it. If you love to shoot city streets, with street lamps and illuminated signs, with even a single light point barely more intense than the others, and maybe with a little black sky in the background, well, it's better if you change the lens, forget about using this one! Full stop. Unless you like to find files flooded up to 65 (65!!! Sic..) between luminous globes and other artifacts of various shapes and colors. After the first few days of use, really demoralized, I wanted to take advantage of the right of withdrawal and return it, as I had done previously and for the same reason with two 24-85s (one used and one new); In the end I resigned myself and kept it, mostly because of the versatility of its focal range; and for the kind of night photos that I love to take so much, well, it means that, when I can use it, I will mount the 35 fixed 1.8ED which, despite being six years old, with a nice fall on the ground on its shoulders and dirt of dust to the limit inside, even in that area hardly disappoints me. What can I say, to sum up, the price of the new Nital (I've seen sites that give it even at 1,300 Euros....) I think it's disproportionate for what it offers, adequate if you find bulk like mine. I would give him a 9 final grade, but given how he behaves in the situations described, I go down to 7. He doesn't deserve more. |
