Where's the sweet spot for that lens
The trash can.
Seriously, I've got a half-ton of Nikon glass (20D, 24D, 28, 35, 50,
105MicroD, 28-80D, 80-200D), but something that advertises itself as
covering that much real estate is a JOKE.
The whole point of the lens is giving the photographer the option of
carrying a single piece of glass.
What's the problem with sacrificing quality for convenience? If that's
the choice someone wants to make, so be it. Millions make the same
choice in Detroit-built cars every year.
I have the nearly all-plastic 28-200 that I picked up for $200 used.
While it definitely suffers compared to a fixed focal length, it's still
quite useful.
