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

I sold a couple of fixes and took one universal one, took it new in Pixel. I shoot cities, views, cars. In terms of overall qualities, I think that this is a very good option, perhaps the best. It copes with its tasks, produces a sharp and saturated picture, but sometimes you have to focus for several seconds, because. focus in 60% of cases stops in the background (example: a car in the background of a summer residence). With the cost of the camera itself being 25 thousand, as in my case, it makes no sense to take lenses for 40+.

Pros

Versatility Sufficient sharpness if focused where needed =) The picture quality is higher only for the L-series is twice as expensive, so I don’t see the point of changing (I have a crop) Looks solid, that's a plus and a minus

Cons

Weight and stupid design with a constantly moving trunk. With my 200D, the drag is noticeable. Noisy focus, it is impossible to shoot video on autofocus. He's fast, and that's why he constantly jumps to the front and back plans, back and forth. After three years of use, there is a feeling that he began to soap. Well, you can forget about the quality of the background if you shoot at maximum zoom, for example, from bridges or viewing platforms. Picture quality, but no frills, I would say.
