Wide Angle
on October 16, 2010
Posted by: joisa333
27mm (35mm equiv.) max. wide angle is good, but 25mm or 24mm would be better. I've always found I need all the wide angle I could get, and then some - whereas giving up some telephoto (to get the wider angle), at the same zoom range, has never been a problem for me. At 11.1x zoom, 24mm wide still gives you 266.4mm tele.
A litttle more wide angle and a little less tele would suit me fine. Bigger tele mm numbers are a diminishing return versus smaller mm wide numbers
Or, hey, go from an 11.1x zoom to a 12.5x and get 24mm to 300mm.

What's great about it: Excellent zoom range
What's not so great: Not quite enought wide angle
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

No good!

Nothing but problems with this lens.
Its not sealed from external environmental dust.
When zooming it breaths in outside air making things impossible to clean in the front lens element.
Im not used to cheap kit lenses. I would classify this lens to be a Kit lens for basic starting packages.

Zoom stuck between 100 and 200

I bought this lens 4 years ago. Currently, Until most recently, I noticed that the zoom is stuck between 100 and 200. There must be something wrong with the zoom mechanism. Maybe, wear and tear? Can this be fixed?
I would recommend this to a friend!

Utter Waste

OK at short focal lengths, if you can stand the distortion.
Miserable at long focal lengths being no better than looking thru a coke-bottle bottom
