The processing is for a lens in this price Checkout perfectly fine, it is well made and is easy to operate. Clear can be achieved a much better performance, but also cost more with higher quality lenses with the NEX-5N.
Of course you can not compare with such a look of a fixed focal length. A Zeiss Sonnar T E24 mm F1.8 SEL24F18Z ZA example is a completely different class and also five times more expensive.
With a fixed focal length one is also always limited in his creativity. Therefore, this standard zoom lens is a good addition to a NEX camera.
A good enhancement is the new Tamron 18-200mm F / 3.5-6.3 Di III VC. This appearance reflects better and of course with acceptable weight a great zoom range.
