[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 823061, member: 50197"] I don't own one, but I typically avoid high zoom ratios. There are significant prices to be paid for that extreme range. Sharpness is one price. They also tend to suffer issues with focusing and zoom creep. Read some of the reviews available online and they speak to these issues. Personally, I would prefer to have two better quality lenses and swap them out as needed. I am much more willing to swap a lens out on a DSLR than I am a mirrorless. Your needs may differ. If you are willing to accept a less sharp which is more prone to focusing issues and other things like zoom creep in exchange for a more versatile zoom ratio, then a lens like this may be for you. Just be aware there is a trade off for this much versatility. Perhaps someone who either owns, or has owned one of these lenses will chime in with their experiences. [/QUOTE]
