Build quality

Very well made and are solid as a rock.
The feel is also very good.


Conclusion

A fairly nice one for a zoom lens.
Quite nice but not the best sharpness wide open when you zoom in a bit.
That is quite common with similar lenses but this one is not too bad.
Stop it down a bit and it's nice and sharp.
It also handles flares and bokeh quite well.

Weight and size is maybe not the best and I would have liked a bit closer focus.
It do have a good close focus funktion but works only for 35mm.
