優點:
Lightweight and cheap.
Super quiet autofocus.
VR works very well.
缺點:
Plastic mount. (In fact, I do not find any problems with it)
Occasionally, I will turn the focusing ring when I attempt to zoom.
Focus speed is not as fast as expected for a AFS lens.
評價:
It is very sharp and portable. Good for general, outdoor and travel shooting. VR is useful which able to get sharp pictures as well as shutter at 1/15 setting. It replace my 17-35/2.8 and 85/1.4 lenses.
For theatre shooting, bring a large aperture lens together with you. it is because VR cannot help to freeze motional pictures. It only helps to prevent image blur caused by camera shake.
Nowadays, FF format is getting common. For a DX lens, HK$2,150 is reasonable. If you will not change to FF format in the nearest future, you may go ahead for the much more expensive 16-85VR.
All in all, it is a nice and affordable all around lens.
