a nifty, compact casing, excellent image quality in the frame centre, good image quality on the edge of the APSC sensor, right correction of chromatic aberration, slight distortion, practically no astigmatism, moderate vignetting on the APSC sensor, very

Poids et encombrement réduits, Qualité de fabrication, Piqué bon et homogène, Motorisation STM, Pas d'aberrations chromatiques, Faibles distorsions
Vignetage présent aux grandes ouvertures, Piqué à f/5,6 non homogène, Pas de stabilisation optique
