Actually, this lens already said everything, and even Colorfoto has it hard to fault anything. My motives for sale were primarily the attractive focal range and the light intensity. I am over 60 and have been photographed as a schoolboy; then it was well equipped if you had a 35er WW, a normal focal length and maybe a 90 or 135 Tele. This and much more offers the 1260th I would like to highlight the good suitability for close-ups, the SWD drive for fast and quiet auto focusing; manual focusing is very good and accurate - I preferred in Live View mode. There's quite a difference to the Stadardobjektiven. The price: Well, good lenses just come at a price. The lens's less at other Internet providers; my unlimited good experiences with Amazon were to me the difference but all worth it. The only trouble: Why I bought the part not sooner!
