Some kind of defective product, I definitely wont buy it anymore.

After the native 18-55 whale lens with a stabilizer, this one is perceived as cheap trash. I bought into the description (everywhere is about the same) "indispensable for shooting portraits" - I didn’t find anything indispensable in it, I didn’t get anything fundamentally new in the quality of the pictures, in comparison with the whale lens. On a whale, it’s personally more convenient for me to shoot in TV mode, but on this one it turned out to be on Av, that’s the whole difference. I think that in vain I threw out the money, although it is cheap, it is not worth the money either. We need to buy something better, and if there is not enough money, adapt to the whale, squeeze the maximum out of it.

Pros

Didn't find it.

Cons

Autofocus buzzes too loudly, the lens twitches from it (something like recoil), some kind of internal backlash is felt, it is possible to fix the focus with half pressing once (this is not the case with the whale), focusing misses 4 times out of 5, it is more reliable to focus with your hands, but inconvenient, the manual focus ring is located at the far end of the lens and the lens hood interferes with your fingers.
