The lens is good, comfortable, of high quality, but not intended for serious photography. Clarity is normal, but at 100% scale it does not stand up to criticism. Great lens for home photography. If you are not going to "pove" into the printing industry with this lens, then I advise you. If you want to submit work in photo banks or printing, change the lens to a serious one (this one will not work).

I tried to do without it, but alas, the most demanded lens is scolded in vain, it has excellent characteristics, it replaces a bunch of lenses with their aperture and sharpness, having bought several lenses, I realized that money wasted on these fixes. Excellent lens ! Works on 5100, went in a set. It is necessary to use without light filters, they give a double refraction on this model, therefore blur.

Great lens for your money. Despite the fact that the lens is dark, you can take great pictures in low light even without a tripod! There was an experience of shooting landscapes during the "white nights" - very, very worthy ! For landscapes - a very good option. Not bad for a portrait with the right camera settings. Not suitable for macro photography. After the whale was sampled 50mm f/1.8D. So - in terms of sharpness, 18-105 is not inferior. I did not notice the advantages of the aperture…

I bought it and immediately sold it, it lathers terribly, the pictures turn out dark at the edges, you can more or less take pictures on the street and then the landscapes turn out terrible. In general, I regretted that I fell for the reviews, I return to 15-55 and just buy 55-200, it’s better to go with two than with such a universal, but terrible in terms of image quality.
