The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:Lightweight, sharp, contrast, lack of games between the price parts
Cons:Focus ring, impossible to correct the focus if you are working in automatic focus, zoom ringing mormida but scratching
Opinion:I bought it so I can always have it when I get a zoom without having to carry the tripod, I use it on both the 77II and the 99II (setting APS-C) always carry it, and anyway the Sigma 120-400 (Kg 1,800) is impossible. It is a lens that allows you to have fun, nothing to do with the 1600's of the Sony or the 24-105 of the Sigma, but considering the price 199 € its does it terribly especially if it does not open at all opening but always closes of a stop. For the fact that it fires by turning the lens does not bother me, I do not employ filters of any kind, but what I miss is the ability to correct the focus if shot in automatic fire. All I would say would be a fairly well-designed lens without any games between the parts even though the zoom ring is a bit scratchy.
Pros:Sharpness, contrast, flare and AC resistance, soft and quick zoom thanks to the good ring nut
Cons:Dark, MAF ring, loosens. Unsure, which would not be a problem for me if the damn ring of MAF was well done. 200mm physiological decline in quality
Opinion:The perfect jumper to have fun !! with a ridiculous expense if taken in kit is a bargain. Compared to the little brother always sold in kits, 18-55, there are abysses of difference, this produces crisp and contrasting images. The minimum distance of MAF does not help a lot in the macros, but some close-ups can be successfully tried anyway. The only thing that really annoys me is the ring of the MAF ... I personally like focusing manually, and with this goal is not the easiest and easiest way to do ... I do not understand the choice not to knit even the a tiny ring, which measures half a centimeter, so smooth is hard to find. the Af is decent but not formidable, often wrong and sometimes just forget to hook up ... I have never put so much trust on even AFs with ultrasonic or stepper engines to tell the truth, I always preferred manual MAF, I do feel the camera and my picture more, but sometimes the AF is useful and you can nottrust it. The hood is at the same level as the MAF ring, a dirt, a poor black plastic cylinder, but at least does not bend. If reverse is used when it is not used lock the MAF ring and half zoom ring, rather unpleasant. In sum, in order to be synthetic and above all sincere, this 55-200 is a valid objective, which exudes quality images and gives you so much satisfaction, just have the patience of habit!
