Pros:Extreme sharpness, lack of distortion, very fast and precise autofocus. Light, sturdy. Optics that can offer its services in every kind of photography (not just macro). Good quality of the blurred. Presence of the focus distance limiter and the convenient button for the fire block. Great value for money.
Cons:I had to think a lot to find a defect, because only of defect is: the front of the lens stretches or shortens when it is focheggia, which does not bother me but that could give it to others. Only for this I gave him a vote 9 but, taking into account the performance and potential, would deserve a nice 10
Opinion:This optics came to me by buying it in block together with the body of a 850. It was a blessing to me! I can immediately say that it honors the almost 25 megapixels of the FF sensor. I state that I own the Zeiss Vario Sonnar 24-70 f/2.8 and after several tests I can say that in sharpness equals the heavy expensive German optics, of course at the same focal. In the center, already at full aperture, the image is really good. Closing at F/4-f/5.6 The sharpness becomes astounding with sensible edge enhancement. Closing the Diframma to F/11-F/16, which happens especially in macro, when it needs great depth of field, the image does not decay due to diffraction. Being a fixed lens and dedicated to macro, it has no distortion. The chromatism is very well corrected and what little is almost not seen can be eliminated in post production or closing a little opening. This optics should not be considered only dedicated to macro but is a good normal lens for full format and, in the case of sensor APS-C, a very helpful medium tele, for those who work in FF can very well represent the optics for photographic outputs Wanting to stay light demanding very high performance. The autofocus with the a 850 is very very fast and accurate to the point that I have not heard any need to manually focus. The construction seems robust and durable in time. Attention in portraits: it can highlight the slightest defect of the skin by putting a hard test even a good makeup artist.. Let's talk clearly, if you feel the need for a normal lens for the FF, perhaps even squeezing the eye to macro, and if you do not want to devote to astrophotography that would require a maximum opening, run to make it yours!
