Period of use: 2 years

Strengths:

Sharp results when used correctly!


Weaknesses:

210mm optical quality is low


Comments:

Absolutely necessary to use a Polarizer aiding AF ability of Sonys Contrast focusing ability. Then use DMF @7x to critical focus. You get much better results! A trade secret of Sony Zooms in general, True for the New Kit lens SEL2470 FE series also on Sony A7r
