- Processing: metal connection, very solid and processed wertig, outside of grade plastic, focus ring quite small and a bit difficult to operate, has a tight fit on the bayonet.
- Focus: fast, precise, slightly audible, manual focus with "focus by wire" thus somewhat delayed, generally inconvenient manually adjustable, good focusing distance of 16 cm.
- Image Quality: larger initial aperture of 2.8 - but in this area there are more distortions that are no longer relevant by stopping down by 2-3 levels, very sharp !, many details especially in the central aperture range, total a clearly überdurschnittliche quality in this price range, probably one of the best EF-S lenses!
Conclusion: A lens with minor defects and many qualities. The picture quality can completely convince. The difference with the kit lens is clearly noticeable. The minimum dimension, the good workmanship and the favorable price speak for the lens. A strong buy recommendation!
Tip: Only from Lightroom 5.7.1 there Lens Corrections. The corrections inside the camera I had to update my software.
