The (almost) perfect walk-around lens

I purchased this lens new 7 years ago along with the Sony A580. Had to send the first one back due to severe pincushion effect. The second one is good except, as others have mentioned, the vignetting at 16mm is really bad. It takes a lot of work in Post to correct it. The build quality is questionable. Only lens I own that the barrel noticeably wobbles around the central axis and it has bad "Lens Creep" (fixed with a silicone band). Aside from these 2 problems, this is a very sharp lens with a great zoom range on APS-C bodies.
I would recommend this to a friend!
