Excellent sharpness throughout the range in the centre and towards the edges when stopped down; Effective Vibration Compensation system; Good value; Robust build quality; Moisture resistant construction
Not as sharp towards the edges at maximum aperture; Slight wave to distortion pattern may make corrections more difficult to apply in software afterwards
