Pros:very good sharpness at full aperture. excellent resistance to flare, AF speed and compactness. Chromatic aberrations absent. vignetting absent. blurred smooth and soft
Cons:must be closed by one stop from 200 to 300 mm to obtain a good resolution. rngli shots recorded are defined, but often lack contrast. solvable in pp
Opinion:an excellent lens for relationship dimensions / weight / cost / prestazionirnNonostante solid construction the lens weighs less than 2.8 16-50 SSM.rne no discounts in sharpness. always good to eccellente.rnAF fast, accurate, quiet. rnrnho fatfo hard to get used to the inverted rings (AF machine side, focal lens side), and also reversed its direction of rotation. I do not know why, but I always messed up for the first 3-4 shots ... rnrninsomma, considering it is a FF lens, it remains a must-have piece in the kit.
Pros:Sharp, colors, autofocus is very fast (motor SSM), light, blurred, good build quality, no chromatic aberration
Cons:F/4.5-5.6
Opinion:First, like all Sony lenses, the street price is considerably lower than the price (it was also € 550 in a famous chain of stores). That said, I can confirm that it is indeed an excellent lens in sharpness exceeded only by fixed high level (equivalent focal length of course). Autofocus motor benefits from the "ultrasonic" SSM, which guarantees a remarkable speed, the construction is of good quality, the lens is lightweight and compact, chromatic aberrations are absent. At this price I think that more can not be asked even if a bit more brightness would not have failed (would increase the cost though ..). E ', in my opinion, better than the equivalent canon and nikon especially in sharpness (the various tests on the net seem to confirm this). Considering the street price is one of the best lenses ever for what concerns the quality / price ratio.
Opinion:I find a really good lens, considering its value. It has a very high sharpness, comparable to a fixed lens already at full aperture, auto focus is responsive, fast and very accurate. The construction is great, although unfortunately it is not weather sealed. I've used it in both conditions of extreme cold and hot enough and I never noticed any problems.
