Lens Tip
There are categories in which this lens fares really well – very good resolution in the frame centre, a decent stabilization level or good control of the coma. [...] The list of the tested lens’s flaws is regrettably quite long too. In some categories its results can be only called a spectacular slip-up. We think here mainly about the weak work against bright light and the high level of chromatic aberration. Also the frame edge resolution leaves a lot to be desired.
