When unpacking immediately notice the heavy weight. The Fisheyezoom is made entirely of metal. Even the front cover of the on the permanently mounted "mini Faithful Hood" sits is made of aluminum. Only the cover of the bayonet closure is made of plastic. The DA makes a haptically high-quality impression. But go zoom and focus ring tired not difficult. They have neither game nor scratches in mechanics. The rubber grip on the zoom ring amplifies the positive finish yet. Meritorious way is also a small pocket in the delivery.
The image quality of the 10-17 I find stunning. It opens up new perspectives. And it's exciting and always surprising at the same time as it is changed through the everyday Fisheye. Especially the distortions make it interesting. The points of my Vorrezensenten in terms of image quality I can only underline. The fringing are with a little care (not a criticism!) When choosing your motif verschmerzbar and undramatic. The AF fits perfectly with my copy both on a K10 as well anh my K100Ds.
short and sweet:
Pro:
+ Vollmetalltubus, quality workmanship and haptic
+ AF sufficiently fast
+ Good imaging performance
+ Creative lens
Contraindications:
- difficult
- Do not come cheap
- Tends to color fringing
My Fazi: It took me a long time to the "Investment DA 10-17" to make, given that the price of such a specialized lens is slightly salted. But I have no regrets. With the Fisheye makes enormous fun. And that's what counts.
From me there 5 Star. With 0.4 points deduction for the price.
