Criticized by Experts

• ✗Corner sharpness remains weak at f/2.8, with noticeable softness and color fringing that require stopping down or post‑processing.
• ✗Autofocus is considered basic and sometimes inefficient, lacking the speed and reliability of native brand lenses.
• ✗Strong vignetting at the maximum aperture and below‑average flare resistance reduce image quality in back‑lit situations.
• ✗Minimum focusing distance of 30 cm limits close‑up capabilities, making it less suitable for portrait or product work.
