Excellent quality, absolutely not expected for such a price.

I can note one thing that you need to adapt to shooting at a wide angle, 24 mm is still a wide angle in order to minimize geometric distortions. And if the frame is taken from the right point, then these distortions may not even be noticed, if desired, lr corrects them with one button. Even backlight holds surprisingly well. Before acquiring it, I wanted to buy a large, fast and expensive one - now I absolutely don’t want to. More than enough for a report, of course, having an APS matrix (not a crop) to increase the ISO to an acceptable 800-1250. I'm really satisfied. At least that I did not overpay for 24-70 with its shortcomings. Who doubts to take not to take, you will not regret taking it, only if the materiel is not lame)

Pros

Easy to use, lightweight, tenacious focus, inexpensive but of high quality, assembly at a height, metal and glass + VR (generally beyond praise, I personally shot handheld at shutter speeds ranging from 1/30 to 1/60), tight rotation of the zoom ring for me, dignity, a working hood.

Cons

There really aren’t any, except for geometric distortions, but if you don’t shoot on film, then it’s easy to edit programmatically. HA I am present, but I have not yet met lenses where they are not, on fixes it’s generally tin, take at least the insanely expensive new 85mm.
