24

This lens is a disappointing option. It is not reliable, has poor autofocus, and struggles with image quality in the corners and wide angles.

This lens is a disappointing option. It is not reliable, has poor autofocus, and struggles with image quality in the corners and wide angles. The build quality is surprisingly decent, but the autofocus system is extremely inaccurate and the focus ring turns when the lens is set to autofocus.

Pros
  • Surprisingly decent build quality at first glance
  • Sharpness in the middle of the image at certain focal lengths and apertures
Cons
  • Extremely inaccurate autofocus system
  • Severe ghosting and lack of sharpness in corners and edges
  • Suffers from distortion, soft quality, and loss of contrast

The image quality is quite inconsistent, with sharpness in the middle of the image at certain focal lengths and apertures, but severe ghosting and lack of sharpness in the corners and edges.
