Those who compare it with the first model and scold about the plastic case, do not forget that the plastic allowed to reduce weight, and I'm not going to hammer nails and drop it on the floor. If the case were made of metal, then the subject would be heavier than the first model, because. He has more lenses. I agree with one of the commentators that in terms of sharpness this lens is on a par with budget fixes, perhaps even not only with budget ones. From 30 mm to 70 mm - very good, I shoot with pleasure, I get cool photos. For some reason, they made a latch in the lens - the assembly is excellent, the trunk does not leave. The lens hood is just a name, a stub, I left it in the box. As for the fragility of the subject, I do not agree - there is an extraneous sound in my subject when shaking, but the service said that this is how it should be in this model, adjustment is not required. So far everything is working fine. This glass will be a great long term investment!
