Fantastic lens for the price point For the price this is one of the absolute sharpest lenses you will ever find, only exceeded by fixed focal length lenses or $500+ It is a bit older but really doesn't matter unless your camera doesn't have a built in focus motor. It is sharp as a tack at all focal lengths. I have noticed a little softness in corners at 28mm but not bad.
Good for it's inexpensive Variety of focal length variety for use, zoom is not stable when the camera is up and down, sharpen is normal.
Old glass is good glass Excellent vintage lens. Sharp, plus macro functions are good. Sometimes when I switch from using Macro and manual focus, then zoom out and switch back to auto I have to fuss around a little while to get the auto focus to work again. No problem switching back and forth auto to manual /manual to auto focus with the 80mm-28mm regular zoom focal lengths. Just switching from macro back out isn't so smooth.
