The "one lens" lens
on January 27, 2009
Posted by: Nick
from Nebraska
After spending the rather large chunk of money for this lens, I found that it was well worth it. The only warning is that it is a Very heavy and Very large lens. It is so versatile that now it is the only lens I use except for special occasions. A macro lens for very close shots, and a ultra wide lens for the wide shots. That's it. 3 lenses and you are done. It is Not tack sharp like some of the lenses. It is only Very sharp.
I love it!
I love it!
Pros: Superior build quality, Fast auto-focus
Cons: Semi-sharp images
I would recommend this to a friend!

Versatile but heavy
on January 20, 2009

It's an extremely versatile lens which is great while traveling and doing totally different kind of shots during the same time-span. I.e. visiting a town: close ups, portraits, buildings, panoramas; outdoor sports: close-ups, groups; nature: close-up, limited macro, landscape. The IS Image stabilizer will help also in lower light conditions. The push-pool zoom is first strange to handle but you soon find out how wonderful it is when you have a 'situation'.
When I travel I have this lens with an additional extreme wide (10-22mm). Be prepared to some: "whoa!" when you get the camera out of your bag.
This is unfortunately at the the expense of a real heavy weight and some reduced sharpness.
