Opinion:It is not a kit lens, but a lens put in kits so as not to pay for waste disposal. With all this I keep it, because in the portrait, only in the range between one and a half meters and three meters away, thanks to its defects, starting from the aberration and the poor quality of the lenses, it churns out acceptable photos. To buy it would be crazy, because 'given the lower quality' of kit lenses of other companies, it should cost new less than 139 euros. Ok, having to put a lens in order to have a kit to offer, but if they put the 50mm fixed, which also costs less, those who buy the machine should not get away to immediately buy a decent lens. The proverb says that a caval donato does not look in the mouth, but this is just a pitcher.
Pros:Cost, size, weight, autofocus, sharpness in the center and stabilization
Cons:Sharpness at the edges, variability perhaps in the quality of the specimens
Opinion:I had two examples of this objective kit taken with a second-hand A7S. The first one was not good having differences between the right and left edge, with the left less sharp. Given back the first one that was made in china (but it is only a note not to say that all those made in China can be defective) I recently bought back a second always second hand and very little used that turns out to be made in Thailand and that instead does not suffer from this defect at just over 100 euros. Noticing that it is a kit lens and that you can not compare it to Zeiss or G Master I do not find it as poor as we read in many reviews, unless the negativity of some comments is due to poorly released specimens and therefore to poor quality control of the manufacturer. As a lens to be used every day, without pretensions of super brightness of the diaphragm and resolve at the edges, because in the center it is more than good, it does its good work coupled to the A7S sensor and you can get great results. I believe I will not sell it but I will keep it paired with the 7S because on certain occasions I can get good shots without loading my back, waiting to take an A73 or rather an A9 and flank it with a glass corresponding to the potential of the machine.
Pros:cost, weight and size, stabilization, maximum aperture, autofocus
Cons:Are there really any? Maybe the optics that do not retract completely setting to 28mm but halfway through the stroke.
Opinion:But do you really think this lens is so horrible? I bought it in kit with the A7III although almost totally convinced to resell it shortly afterwards. I totally believed it. GIVEN the PRICE at which it is located/sold, I think it is an excellent optics: STABILIZED, bright at 24mm, sharpness not bad at TA especially in close-ups. I believe that for the price it has, it is worth buying and keeping it in the backpack both as a backup and for the exits without obligation, given the weight and the zero dimensions. Even for autofocus I found myself well: he chased a subject fast approaching through the trees without missing a single shot. Absurdly enough for most of the work on commission and especially for an amateur who can't even set sony menus, going to criticize a 150 euro lens is simply R-I-D-I-C-O-L-O.
Pros:Kit optics. Remarkable optical quality with intermediate diaphragms (f8-f11). Good zoom feed ring, in grip and smooth but not too much in scrolling. Flare.
Cons:Feeling of excessive plasticity. Lampshed all too thin and light. Flare.
Opinion:I'm not a professional photographer, but I'm not a rookie either. I have had experience in the past as a photographer and as an assistant in the professional field. This review is therefore based on personal sensations and experiences and as far as I am concerned, it is based on values of optical quality and perceived use, therefore not based on calculations coming from tools. I purchased this lens with an a7 ii as an offer in kits at a price. The great surprise that was in the optical rendering, I repeat, perceived as sharpness, to intermediate diaphragms (f8-f11). I consider it remarkable and unexpected, compared to what I read around. Experience teaches me, however, that from the same perspective, but different matches, there could be qualitative differences. That's not bad in my possession at all. All in all for a handyman's perspective, I think of trips, Sunday trips and any other unprofessional playful activities, it will definitely stay in my kit. I wanted to include the flare both negative and positive aspects, for the simple reason that certainly as far as optical correction is concerned, due to the flare, you see the limits of the project. Flare, however, when used intelligently can add a touch of creativity to our images. My last point is this. The construction quality of the barrel and the lampshed is quite economical with a fairly light wide use of plastic (value for overall objective weight). Nevertheless, the zoom ring gives a good feeling of solidity and the movement is always sweet and fluid, which is not so obvious. In conclusion if you have to buy this new lens in my opinion I would say that at the selling price of the optics outside the kit, you can find better. However, if you have thought of buying a camera with this lens in kits, do it with your eyes closed, or alternatively, by turning to the used market you can find it at hundreds of euros, which for the purposes I have described above you surely you will find yourself well. For all these reasons, I have decided to give a vote of 9 for this objective.
Opinion:Recently purchased used for 120 euros with one year warranty. I use it on the Sony Alfa 7 in addition to nikon AI manual focus fixed lenses. The sharpness in the center is good and discreet at the edges. Autofocus is precise and fast, a remarkable convenience. With the Sony A7 it adds stabilization that is not present in the machine body. Recommended for all those looking for a light optics and handyman
