A reliable product for all occasions, the quality is at the level.

The lens is still very good, despite the listed shortcomings. The picture is very sharp and colorful. The only serious drawback, in my opinion, is the presence of pronounced HA, in areas with high contrast, which intensify towards the edges of the frame.
Pros:
- excellent image sharpness;
- excellent color rendition;
- light coloured;
- Pretty fast autofocus
- Supported mode M / A - fine-tuning the focus manually;
- filters do not rotate when focusing (if installed);
- light;
- inexpensive;
- case and lens hood included.
Has some cons
- terrible HA in contrasting areas of the image;
- not the best build quality: the focus ring has a slight backlash, it is also observed in the lens hood, but this is not so annoying;
- the focus ring spins with a rustle, and not softly and smoothly, as we would like;
- slight vignetting.
