after almost a year with my Nikon D90 4 different lenses have now accumulated. Having recently bought myself a fixed focal length (Nikon 50 1.8), I have quarreled with the increasing light intensity and the sharpness of the images of my standard zoom (Nikon 16-85).
After careful research and various test images at my local camera store I've inspired me from the very first minute of the lens. To the detriment After weeks Think about changing to more sharpness and luminous efficiency of the zoom range, then I have done it but ... and ... I wonder now why not earlier. I am totally impressed by the lens. The joy of the photos is skyrocketed. The fixed focal length almost always stays at home, because the image quality is vegleichbar, but I have a zoom lens for this. Even at full aperture, there are very sharp photos. With my first set of tests I did not come out of the marvel. Hot, hotter ...
But there are a few points that could be even better and you should know. There is just no perfect products :-)
1. In the WW range (17-20 mm) recorded the lens visible. For me still acceptable.
2. The Gegenlichblende is very loose and may fall ever.
3. The weight is remarkable, but probably can not be avoided in the luminous efficiency and processing
Since there is not perfect, but this lens almost rankommt ... 5 *****
