Pros:Weight, cost in the non-EU markets, relatively light, handyman, on APS-C remember to multiplier for 1.5 fast stabilization with ultrasonic motor (PZD), Spasticoso but well done.
Cons:Sharpness and brightness
Opinion:I'm not ' ' the photographer ' ' but I've done photos for years with classic machines up to change running from Nikon D50 with relative zoom to a D5500 and this 18-270. will be too many megapixels will be that I am not used yet but the resulting photos I see not sharp. It will also be the blur but with the D50 with its 18-55 I took better pictures. At 18 mm It deforms a lot so I used it from 20-22. At 100mm the diaphragm is already at 6.3 then dark.. With daylight and short focal lengths, it behaves fine... for lengths above 150, better tripod or support. All in all with its focus of 45 cm you get close to the mark. Very short, comfortable traveling without changing lenses is more than valid. In the non-EU markets I paid 260 euro Qunci not even to ask who knows what kind of quality. I recommend it as the first tele to practice but sooner or later will be replaced.
Pros:Versatile. Short. Light. Sharp in the middle. Fast and quiet Autofocus. Discrete videos. Zoom block at 18 mm.
Cons:Slight vignettings and chromatic aberrations at extreme focal lengths. Soft at the edges. A little dark in automatic mode. The zoom will drift when it is in an inclined position.
Opinion:Got new (399 euros) for my Sony APS-C (A200 and A68). Very short lens If you think it contains 16 lenses that have to do a crazy job. Optical handyman, decidedly versatile and light, that manages to do the wide angle, landscapes, portraits, tele (10 mm more than expected!), even macros, even if not pushed. In short, ideal excuse to make a nice trip with a single lens... The autofocus is very fast and quiet, ideal in the video, as long as you do not exaggerate the zooming and the shaded areas. The sharpness, especially at the edges, leaves a little ' to be desired at full aperture, but closing the diaphragm from 8 to 11 the problem resolves. Over 200 mm There is a slight vignetting, especially in backlight, but also here it resolves by closing the diaphragm of a couple of stops. Unlike some say, I have not noticed any "lens flare" thanks to the excellent lens hood provided and the anti-reflective treatment. Instead, the low dispersion glasses fail to eliminate the slight chromatic aberrations that plague him at the extreme focal lengths: Here unfortunately it is not enough to close the diaphragm. It is not very bright, and I recommend not to use it in "Auto" mode unless you are outdoors in the middle of summer and noon... I personally use aperture priority and in this way the "right" shots increase. With the use, after an annetto, the zoom has become a bit of a lapse when it is not in a horizontal position, in the sense that it tends to slide changing the focal of its head and forcing me to hold it still for the ring nut.
Opinion:Excellent lens to take on a trip without a complete kit I was expecting a little 'more clarity but for the cost that has honestly we are content, used on a Nikon 7000 does its job more or less well rnSe not for a crazy tumor the engine of the objective I adore the possibility of locking the lens at 18 like now never all the new lenses
Pros:Versatile, wide focal length (15x), stabilized, value for money
Cons:Brightness, sharpness is not optimal for all focal lengths
Opinion:When I bought it for my D3100 it just came out, and I chose it because at that time it was the zoom that covered most focal points. RnI am quickly found well, and I appreciated his extreme comfort. Designed for those who, in certain excursions, do not want to carry a backpack with their goals and must travel lightly, or can not change their lens for external factors. As all wide focal range lenses can not be both bright and sharp at the same time at all focal points; Despite this, his work does more than fine, and allows you to take good photographs in all situations. In my opinion, it is a very good "all to do", for those who have to travel or hike that oblige him to travel lightly and not to be noticed. Also advised of who is the first to love and must decide on which genres and what focuses they will want to point in on their journey as a photographer.
Cons:Vignetting from 100 mm up, dark (but what can you expect from an 15x zoom?), Smooth, flare
Opinion:I own this lens for about a year and I can say that I fully exploited. I think it's one of the lightest and most compact superzoom on the market and its also has very low cost, if you search for a handyman lens without fainting, and you have no need for a large aperture is ideal. The stabilizer works well, especially at 18mm, where you can also shoot at 1/8 without blur. He has made a very soft wide open, but it disappears from f5.6 to f11 and focal lowest climbing focal. It has a strong vignetting after 100/150 mm, but closing at f16 disappears almost completely. Backlit suffers a lot of flare and the risk that artifacts appear with night shots is very strong. Despite this, I do not think you can expect more at this price and with these dimendioni and weights (is roughly a little over 18-55 kit ..)
