Licht und Schatten wechseln sich hier ab und so ist der sehr große Zoombereich wohl das Highlight des Objektivs. Auf der anderen Seite sind deutliche Abbildungsfehler auszumachen, was den Gesamteindruck etwas eintrübt.

Die mechanische Leistung des Objektivs ist vollauf überzeugend. Ebenso für positive Kritik sorgt das sehr gute Handling. Rein optisch betrachtet leistet sich das Superzoom ein paar kleinere Schwächen.

Rank 2 out of 2FototestReleaseOctober 2012

Insgesamt hätte man von diesem Objektiv mehr erwarten dürfen, obwohl die Gesamtleistung dennoch gut ist. Besonders die Mechanik und die Ausstattung können überzeugen. Die Bildqualität hingegen offenbart deutliche Schwächen, besonders bei offener Blende.

Hier stimmen sowohl Preis-Leistungsverhältnis als auch die Verarbeitung, wobei die Bildqualität insgesamt als gut zu bezeichnen ist.
