For hobby and amateur photographer this journey lens is the right tool. In Carnival of Cultures I really came with my prime lens from Sigma not cope (distance of the object). Therefore, I needed a lens with a zoom function to the distances to better regulate. There were prior negative reviews about 18-55 ziger this I do not quite agree. Of course, Zeiss offers its quality, but for travel lovers and serious photographers who can not rausholen enough with smartphone cameras is in the price range a good entry-level model as the SEL-1650 (1650 ziger can score only when the size). To submit a bad review came with me just in question: - Production error - Packaging defect - 'Sensitive' perception of the beholder As I said, for this price range TOP.
