| + | ===== Facts ===== | ||
| + | * cheap but decent quality tele zoom for amateurs | ||
| + | * estimated retail price 250 EUR | ||
| + | * in my use from 12/2004 to 2/2008 | ||
| + | * works best at the wide end and stopped down | ||
| + | ===== Pros ===== | ||
| + | * reasonably sharp, good contrast and nice colors at the wide end (approx. 70 - 120 mm) | ||
| + | * nice build quality compared to the price | ||
| + | * is said to pefrorm better than most telezooms in this price class | ||
| + | * due to a special macro mode (1:2 reproduction ratio) offers nice possibilities to try out macro photography | ||
| + | ===== Cons ===== | ||
| + | * to be sharp needs to be stopped down (at its best at f/8 and f/11) especially at tele end | ||
| + | * at tele end contrast weakens, colors turn to gray and sharpness suffers | ||
| + | * AF motor or the focusing mechanism little by little became very noisy | ||
