Finally a testreport on this absolut toplens of 2013 on Photozone, happy to finally see a review on a trustworthy reviewsite.
I have one since december (although on a Nikon D7100 ) and use it as my standard zoomlens.
I hate switching lenses so i wanted one lens.
Offcourse it is heavier compared to a Sigma 17-50 for instance that is the main disadvantage of this lens.
But I dont agree on the zoomrange 18-35 being to limited.
I can absolutely understand it feels to short when shooting.
But because this lens is so sharp and resolving so much detail from the sensor I can easilly zoom in my pictures a few times and still have better performance compared to a 17-50 mm zoomlens or a prime 50 mm lens.
So in the end I still end up with better pictures.
Also my copy nails focus just as good as a expensive Nikon or Canon lens I owned before, always spot on.
Except in real dark situations a top Canon/Nikon lens focusses a little steadier/faster on the same F value.
