When I first got this lens I thought it was brilliant, all that I would ever need. I do a lot of travel and if going light I would just take this and a 50mm.
That was till I got hold of the Nikon 17-55 and 70-200. I actually thought there was something wrong with this lens afterwards, it just didn't seem sharp. I would even use manual focus to try and get sharper shots. Eventually I just realised I had been spoilt with higher quality lenses!
That said it is a brilliant all purpose travel lens and still only take the two if backpacking etc, but I know I won't get the IQ that I would prefer....guess you can't have everything.
