Pros:
|
Contrast and sharpness are amazing

Might seem heavy to some, somewhat short and not super wide on 1.6x crop

Coming from a point and shoot camera this lens blows me away everytime I look at the images. Somewhat weighty but not bad, I carry it mountain climbing along with the XT and the weight is negligable. Price wise I think its perfectly priced. On a 1.6x crop its not terribly wide but wide enough for landscapes (26mm or so) and it seems short at times but a few steps forward can change that.
As my first lens I think its a great starter L at a decent price.
