Not flawless but hey - for 200USD this is a steal if you are on a budget

It took many years for me to realise that "albeit" a contraction of "all be it" is. A disconnect between hearing and reading english.

I reckon it is a question of how you look at this - the peak performance is roughly on par with the Touit and the Sony 10-18mm.
And I didn't say excellent nor very good anyway ... ;-)

Is the native Sony option (16mm plus wide converter giving you 12mmf2.8) that bad it isn't even mentioned, the combo was reviewed her at PZ.
Despite owning the combo, I used it once and that was the first week I bought it.

Yes, catastrophic performance.
