The product is completely satisfied, performs its functions.

In my opinion, a good universal lens. I took it for shooting on the street, travel and everything else, except for portraits. The quality is decent, especially in the range of 35-135, much more beautiful than a whale. Suitable for almost all occasions. Of course, not a fix, aperture is not a fountain, but its main purpose is to replace a bunch of other glasses in one case, and everything is in order here.
By the way, portraits are also good, I especially like 80mm.

Pros

- The versatility of the range of focal lengths, of course - Stabilization is really good - you can take a more or less sharp portrait with your hands for 1/10 sec -In my opinion, a good study of details, at least in focus - lock lock - Focusing distance is constant at all focal lengths of 0.45 - which is better than that of "clean" telephoto lenses -The picture, of course, is much better than 18-55 -Build quality - the front lens does not rotate -Sharp over most of the FR range

Cons

-naturally, a bit dark (it’s understandable) - for rooms you need a flash -mine has noticeable vignetting from 135, increasing more as the focal length increases. Compensated in part by peripheral illumination correction in the ON position -barrel distortion at 18 is noticeable -very noisy autofocus
