I have now had the lens about 7 months often in use and have been disappointed with the processing and autofocus. But now times in chronological order:
I wanted to set an appropriate lens for indoor shooting me at the time of purchase, which is in terms of the price / performance ratio is great. All the tests to follow this objective has been quite frequently touted and seems the subjects to have downright enthusiastic. In my precipitated decision, the receipt of this shard and extensive tests voted my opinion also consistent with all test reports.
BUT: the time came the devil in the details to light!
After about 4 months I was forced to focus manually because the background was always focused. Initially, this occurred only in the darkness and low light conditions, later it was irrelevant how bright it was removed to the shooting situation or how far the background. He was always sharp. I photograph basically manually with the individual field measurement and no, I place myself not too stupid to. With all other lenses, it finally works out well!
My research revealed that this back-Focusing is probably a known problem with this Objketiv. Well, to be not so bad ... I'm not fussy and can eventually focusing manually. The results were, as usual, well.
Attention, now it comes ...
About a month ago I cleaned the front lens with a dry microfiber cloth and found that the front lens sat loose in the socket. When gentle circles to remove dirt and dust with the cloth I only took an audible clacking was. Thereupon, I removed the lens from the body and shook it gently in order to assure myself that this perceived clacking comes from the lens. My guess was confirmed, so I was now palpable. I reached the front lens and was able to fully move into its socket (why are not lenses made form Frame or the version reduced a little, so at least you can not penetrate so much dust or damp air?!?).
That meant for me: Not only do I have to manually focusing, even though I paid for an AF lens ... I need to lose even the advertised picture quality because of a dust, and wet / cold air (window fogging from the inside if necessary . with droplet formation and water residues) now still can penetrate into the Easy Zoom pump.
If I had a right to return, I would ask for my money back. So I have no choice but to return the lens and to pay the next time the negative recessions more attention.
I personally take me now to evaluate all my acquired and products in use after one year in order to give other people a view of a long time can. Otherwise have to fret about more than necessary!
In this sense: Happy snapping!
