must meet a lot of expectations. Good optical imaging performance, nicely and solidly built. I have read many forum posts before buying, the results were not bad in Durchschitt, but not outstanding. But that does not surprise me. Such a lens covers almost the entire zoom range, from wide-angle to long-distance lens. Such a lens is to unite all these lenses in one. That this does not succeed perfectly, but is understandable. That's the theory. In the meantime, I have had the opportunity to test this lens a little. Regardless of the focal length setting, I can see no optical aberrations. And that is exactly what counts for me as an amateur. Laboratory measurements are indeed informative, but for me is not the measure of all things. For that matter, so this lens is highly recommended. The list price of about 800 Euro is too high for me, I can buy the lens as an exhibit for almost half. For this price, highly recommended, if it is to be a push for. The lens mount is metal, thus advantageously. What everyone should know vorgher: The lens is relatively large, heavy and has nothing so compact in common with the term. But that should come as no surprise if one previously on the Internet looking for pictures showing the lens mounted on a Nikon 1. The not so rash is a decisive criterion. Why I pull a Star: The extendable tube has a little excessive play and rattle a little. The function will not be affected, including the part is relatively heavy and must indeed be able to move. Whether the image stabilizer works very effective so I can not even try. So if you want to request an Zomm and can get this lens at a reduced price, so there is nothing against a purchase.
