Build and handling
The lens is relatively small and lightweight for it�s capabilities and sports a slightly retro �crackle� finish that gives a not unpleasant feel to the optic. A conventionally styled lens, it has two rings separated by a distance window, marked in both metres and feet.
The first of the two rings operates the zoom mechanism and is marked at 10, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 17mm and is well torqued, giving a feeling of solidity to the zoom mechanism.
The front ring operates the focus mechanism and is torqued much more lightly when in MF mode but is stiff and not over-rideable in AF mode. The AF mechanism rotates the ring and does so with a quiet whine. It is, however, quite quick.
The front of the lens sports a fixed hood with no filter thread and the lens cap is a nice fit over the wings of the hood.
