Pros: Relatively small and not too heavy. Good construction. Opening 2.8 on the whole excursion. Good definition at all open, excellent from 5.6 up. Very economical on the used.

Cons: Strong vignetting in the range 24-28 fully open on full frame. Very pronounced chromatic aberrations on the widest focals. The ring of the MAF that moves during the autofocus is a bit of a hassle. The zoom closes by just turning it upwards. Strong back focus in my specimen. Autofocus only on bodies that have the built-in engine.

Opinion: I use this lens on D7200 and D800 (on which it gives the best, and the worst, of itself). I do not know if I caught a good specimen, if they are good mouth or if anyone claiming sharpness has problems with front/back focus and does not realize it, but my lens, once corrected the MAF, is very good already open to everything. A little soft at 2.8, but Usabilissima, and with strong chromatic aberrations on the wide focals, greatly improves by closing the diaphragm. From 5.6 up It is very sharp even on the highly D7200. The mechanical MAF is reasonably rapid and not too noisy. An old school lens that can still give great satisfaction, as long as you mount it on a high-end body, since autofocus and calibration of the MAF are indispensable to bring out the best.

Pros: Opening 2.8, good bokeh, light and comfortable. Absent distortion.

Cons: Not clear at the first 2 stops. Lack of integrated AF motor.

Opinion: Objective f / 2.8 but that opening is in my opinion unusable ... af / 4 starts to be decent, 5.6 is good. The corners are never the highest quality. It's a shame that a bright zoom is taken to be able to be used at full opening and not closing it 2 stops ... it's a good handyman for tourist, landscaping and shooting photos, certainly not when looking for the highest quality. I'm pretty critical, but it's still a high-level goal, and also the fact that even wide-angle distortion is almost irrelevant.

Pros: Optical quality. High brightness, quality of blurred.

Cons: Zoom that extends under the effect of weight

Opinion: This is a lens that, in spite of the low price it is able to provide great satisfaction. The sharpness is very good already at full aperture and color rendition very warm and pleasant. But the yield of the thrill is really soft blurred thanks to the diaphragm to nine lamelle.rnLa resistance to flare is pretty poor and it is annoying tendency Zoom to lengthen under the effect of peso.rnL 'focal length limited compared to the canonical 24 - 70 also makes it relatively lightweight and not bulky.
