... focus is fairly quiet and accurate to cope with most uses. There`s on/off switch and zoom lock wchich I didn`t use(doesn`t extends when camera points down). - macro mode - it focuses from about 10cm - great! - value for money - not cheap but worth price, - starts from 17mm - it`s only one mm wider than my old minolta 18-70 kit but I can see the difference. cons: - vignetting ("dark corners") can be noticeable at 17mm @F2.8, - barrel distortion at 17mm especially if shooting straight lines.
