What We Like
+Constant F2.8 aperture across entire 28-105mm range with only 4mm compromise vs 24mm wide angle
+Excellent sharpness and optical performance with minimal chromatic aberration and distortion
+Compact and lightweight design at under 1kg making it highly portable for all-day shooting
+Advanced close-focusing at 40cm throughout zoom range with 1:3.1 macro magnification at 105mm
+Premium build quality with magnesium-alloy construction, weather sealing, and professional features like de-clickable aperture ring
+Versatile focal range covers landscapes to portraits eliminating need for multiple lenses
Worth Knowing
−No optical image stabilization (relies on in-body IBIS in modern mirrorless cameras)
−Stiffer zoom ring action compared to some competitors may require more deliberate adjustment
−Noticeably heavier and larger than traditional 24-70mm f/2.8 lenses due to extended range
−At 28mm start point, loses 4mm of wide-angle coverage compared to common 24-105mm f/4 alternatives
