Review on πŸ“· Sony SEL1670Z Vario-Tessar T E 16-70mm F4 ZA OSS Lens by Abhey Bar ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product is okay, it's not a waste of money!

If you need a COMPARATIVELY high-quality and at the same time compact zoom, then there is no alternative on the Sony crop (18-105 is large, the whale is darker and lathers not only at the edges, 18-200 is very large and the picture is worse) In general, the lens is far from ideal, because. it is optimized primarily for shooting people - sharpness, color are all on top, but landscape and architecture shooting at a wide angle (up to 30mm) and at a distance further than 50 meters is not his strong point - there will be soap ON THE EDGES and there will be more soap than on a whale on the same focal lengths. So the glass is ambiguous, due to the very good sharpness in the center, a wide angle was sacrificed for landscapes. A controversial engineering solution, of course there are no miracles, but such a soap is too much . keep this in mind before buying, so as not to be disappointed later . Many wear it to the service to edit the sharpness around the edges (if it lathers unevenly around the edges, then they take it to the service) - think 10 times, the sharpness at the edges will be evened out and even raised a little, but the center will cease to be so sharp, of course it has a lot of sharpness and that's it it will still be sharper than a whale, but nonetheless.

Pros
  • Sharpness in the center, the center is very good! compactness versatility
Cons
  • soap around the edges at 16-30mm . in general, it lathers AT THE EDGES of the frame at a wide angle, even at f8-10, when shooting objects further than 50m even more than a whale 1650 Vacuum cleaner, the design does not have dust protection . it generally goes numb. Price.
