Weakness: Severe lack of clarity, severe chromatic aberration, only seems to produce OK pictures when used indoors with a flash. Pictures are a bit blurred even when manually focused to clearest possible
I used these on my Nikon D50 camera, and these perform worse than my kit lens (28-80mm Nikkor) when dealing with clarity and chromatic aberration. No matter the settings, no matter if it's set to auto focus or manual, the pictures come out a bit blurred, except when used indoors with a flash. Not recommended for outdoor nature photography. When you are only paying 200 bucks for 2 lenses, a camera bag, a cleaning cloth and lens hoods for each lens, you start to wonder if the price reflects quality, in which case it does here.
