Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars by 247 users at B&H Photo Video

"The pictures are crisp, and the fast shutter speed is great for indoor shooting."

"Very sharp lens. It's durable, has great contrast and is just a solid lens"

"The only thing I wished is that it had a bit more zoom. From 11 to 16 is not very much variation and it almost feels like a fixed lens -"

I just walked up and down bankok with this lens for two weeks. Only switched to tele once. This lens is amazing

I shoot this lens regularly on my assignments, love the results. Not the sharpest in the corners, but, as a super-wide zoom, this is an amazing piece of engineering. Great ergonomics, though the focus-ring af/mf selection is a bit odd.
