[QUOTE="adox66, post: 362665, member: 17861"] So I had the lens out with me last weekend on a trip away with the camera group and so far I am impressed. I was shooting landscapes so never got near 2.8 to see how it is, but the image quality of the lens seems fine. On the glitches side, I do have the preview image stay on for a minute if not manually turned off but I dont leave that setting on automatic anyway so if I want to review an image I do it manually and the same for turning it off. Its a very minor inconvenience at worst and not something I`d worry about. Scrolling on the image, I seem to have this problem intermittently, where you have to keep tapping the direction button to get it to move. Again it doesnt bother me and certainly isnt a deal breaker. More annoying probably,but again neither would be a deal breaker and I was aware of both before purchasing, are the very short focus ring and also no automatic override of auto focus. I shoot a lot of landscapes and its all manual focus so I have to remember to switch the focus switch to manual on the lens. I would guess the lens can be damaged quite easily if trying to move the focus ring manually when its set to auto. I`d like to take some portrait shots with it wide open at the narrow end to see how it fares but from what I`ve experienced so far I`m very happy with. I got a really good deal on it too. At €265 new, its the second cheapest lens in my bag and I made a big saving on it at that price compared to most other places I looked online. [/QUOTE]
