Best praise vs top criticism for Sony NEX-3
“Viltrox: easy decision, AF would not work with my NEX, confirmed by Viltrox. For the money, a good lens. Need to spend a lot more before you get much better. As long as you'll grab the zoom to go out and shoot. I like small <200 gram lenses. Zooms tend to sit on my shelf, so I not longer have any other than my RX100’s.”
